Rosa sinensis, commonly called the hibiscus, is a vibrant flowering plant native to tropical and subtropical regions. It produces large, showy flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow, and white, which attract a variety of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

In addition, many cultures use hibiscus flowers for teas, traditional medicines, and decorations.
