Aibika -- Korean Silkflower
This beautiful plants comes to me via Yanna Fishman. The botanical name given this species is Abelmoschus manihot (or Hibiscus manihot, in the older nomenclature), or a subspecies of Abelmoschus manihot. This okra-relative has large, sulfur-yellow flowers, which have been used in Korean and Japan in paper making. The leaves are large and palmate, edible, and contain a complete amino acid nutritional profile. I enjoy these tasty greens cooked and in stir fries. Known as Aibika in Papua New Guinea, and another common name is Sunset Hibiscus.
