Hibiscus in my garden...please show yours

Houston, TX(Zone 9a)

And back off topic...Here is the very same Fern Tree that was covered in snow a couple weeks ago. It's gone through freezes, hurricanes and now snow, and it doesn't flinch. This is my prize plant, the C. Cooperi, yes..Australian fern tree. I've grown it since it was a tiny tyke.

In the back ground are, a Papaya tree, bird of paradise and the structure is my greenhouse.

Ok. There are 5 at Sussex Inlet and I'm guessing all will be 'Old'.
The first one is odd in that it stays as a bell shaped flower.

Cheers

Thanks Chrissy
I'll see if I can find one you don't know!
It's a neglected and suffering plant so I will take some cuttings with the view to replace it.

This is a beautiful one, I don't know it's name. I went to visit/help my ailing parents for a week and their garden was lovely. I took this and I had a great surprise in it!
