🌺 Have you ever seen a hibiscus like that? This flower will blow your mind! 👀

• 
  💀 Hibiscus schizopetalus - Skeleton Hibiscus, or Coral Hibiscus - earns its nickname due to the delicate, lacy appearance of its flowers. The Latin word schizopetalus literally means "crazy petals"! Flowers look like parachutes, with lacy petals bent backward. The petals are thin and elongated, resembling the intricate structure of a skeleton or bones! 💀

• ♦️ When the flowers bloom, they create a beautiful, ethereal effect, which has led to the association with the term "skeleton." This unique characteristic sets it apart from other hibiscus varieties, hence the distinctive moniker.
• 
  ♦️ Spectacular weeping tree shape, it has slender and gracefully curved stems.
• 
  ♦️ Rare and hard to find.
• 
  ♦️ Grows rapidly and blooms freely.
• 
  ♦️ Can be trained into a showy standard.
