White and Red Hibiscus Flower

This is a lovely white and red Hibiscus flower.  The Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae.  It contains several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world.  The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees.  The hibiscus is the national flower of Haiti.  The tea made of hibiscus flowers is known by many countries around the world and is served both hot and cold.  Dried hibiscus is edible and it is often a delicacy in Mexico.
