Echoes, that's unfortunate and frustrating to see. My tomatoes this past summer got too much rain and I more or less got 1/10th of the yield I normally would have.
Malvaviscus (aka Sleeping Hibsicus) with palm berries in the background:
and two Hibiscus flowers:

love that first pic with the red in the foreground and background...good composition. your hibiscus are beautiful! I think I may have the same variety as your second one...the peachy/yellow flower.
Thanks, habanerita.
Thanks, frick. I'm not sure what that peachy yellow one is called, it could the same as yours. I'll ask my aunt and see if she knows. It's a gorgeous big flower. Hibiscus are such cheery tropical plants.

I just picked up two at Lowes, one red, one peach.
I've never had them before, so I'll be curious to see what happens. How fast do they grow? They say to bring them inside if temps fall below 50°, so that'll mean from October to March at least. Do they grow indoors?

^don't bother to ask...I have no idea what the name of mine is. it just looks like my flowers are the same color.
^I live in zone 10/11, so they're easy to grow here. I've never grown them inside. they bloom on new growth, & like to be cut back hard (which reminds me that I need to cut mine back again). the red flowers are the classic color.
I grow some hibiscus here in NorCal. I have one in the ground next to my house and it will get hit during the winter but I just cut it down in the spring and it always grows back. It is a few years old and the roots are pretty established.
I have 2 tropical hibiscuses in pots and they keep growing back too. We can get down to the low 30's and even lower during the winter and early spring a few times.
This one is in a pot

they're beautiful! I really like the first flower with colored edges. good news that they'll survive a winter.
Echoes, when I lived in philadelphia I missed the tropics so much, I orderded some hibiscus from a mail order garden supplier, I remember they were described as being dinner plate sized hibiscus, I did not think they would make it but I was willing to try. Same mail order had bamboo they claim would grow.
To my surprise they not only grew but were amazing, much larger really dinner plate size, and vibrant than the ones I am used to down here. When it got cold they turned into dead sticks, but, come end of next spring they flourished again, and the bamboo grew and was also beautiful, it was a major selling point when we sold the house to come back to Florida. Let me see if I can find the name of the mail order company.
