Turk's Cap

Image result for turks cap

Found among the bushes of Luak Bay, growing wild.

These are tiny hibiscus and are called Turk's cap. They are well loved and are known by many names e.g. Scotchman's Purse. Bleeding Heart, Sleeping Hibiscus, Cardinal's Hat etc.

It is a pity many gardeners do not grow it because the flowers are small and may be not that popular now.
