what is this shrub?

[mtee]

I saw this at a Burger King. It was a shrub with very large flowers.* The flowers almost looked like they were made out of tissue paper. They were very very wide with a colored center and a pistol coming out of the center.* The flowers were either white with a pink center or pink/red.* The leaves were a light green in color.*

The flower was a perfect shaped flower. Like the kind you drew as a child.

I think the shrub was around 3 feet tall.

Any idea - I'm sorry for the sketchy details.* I live in Georgia.

Hi Mtee,

I'll bet it was hibiscus.* There are tropical and hardy ones and many folks grow them as houseplants.* I suspect those you saw were hardy hibiscus.* Is this what you saw?

That certainly looks like it.* Thank you!!
