Malvaviscus arboreus
TURK'S CAP
Malvaceae family

The Malvaviscus arboreus contain several variations that have common names such as ladies eardrops, Scotchman's purse, Turk's cap, or perhaps most appropriately, sleeping hibiscus.

Interestingly, the Malvaviscus arboreus has beautiful, strikingly red flowers that display a stamen from within the flower, which never opens.
