Those flowers or their cousins are all over Gitmo. They make hedges of them down there. I was pleasantly surprised too. There are pretty flowers even in tough places.

Seems odd to see such a beauty in such an out of the way place but I guess you have to take what you can where you can.

Has anyone read The Phoenix (sp?)
This plant appears to be a Hibiscus; probably H.moscheutos,
commonly known as Rose Mallow.
They are native to tropic climes.
The Rose Mallow has been a popular decorative garden plant in England for many decades. I would postulate that this one descended from plantings done when this was a British base.
