About Wild Florida Photo Tweets
SCARLET HIBISCUS
When the large red flowers are not blooming, this plant is often mistaken for marijuana at first glance.
The leaves are palmately divided into 3 or 5 lobes on long stalks.
The leaves look very similar to Cannabis sativa - marijuana or hemp - although the Hibiscus leaves are typically less toothed.
Another species, Hibiscus cannabinus - like hemp - can be used to make fibers and newsprint.
The large distinctive flowers of Hibiscus coccineus are up to 20 cm across, have five bright red petals and a green five-lobed calyx with linear, entire and unforked bracts.
Scarlet hibiscus blooms in summer, mostly in July and early August.
This is an occasional shrub-like plant of swamps and other wet areas found mostly in the central and northeast peninsula and also some counties of south Florida and the panhandle.
Scarlet rosemallow ranges throughout the southeastern coastal states from Virginia to Louisiana plus Arkansas.
