Summer has finally passed, and the clear, tranquil sun of autumn has returned to this quiet garden. The thin, rose-pink flowers of Fuyo (Cotton-rose hibiscus), which have been blooming elegantly throughout this summer to vividly color the monotonous green garden, are still showing their remaining beauty as if to try to resist the swift departure of summer.
The flowers of Fuyo bloom from summer to fall and are large, single or double flowers about 15 cm in diameter. They are ephemeral “one-day flowers” that open in the morning and wither away in the evening. When they first bloom, they are white or pale pink, but they gradually change to a deep crimson over time. Due to this color change, there is also a variety called "Sui Fuyo" (Drunken Hibiscus).
