Flowers So Big You'll Want to Photograph Them — Titanbicus
Titanbicus is a perennial in the mallow family, genus Hibiscus. It grows to a height of about 1.2 to 1.8 meters, with flowers reaching 15 to 25 cm across — a size that's genuinely surprising when compared against the span of a hand.
The plant takes its name from the Titans, the giant deities of Greek and Roman mythology, in a nod to its overwhelming presence and striking form. True to its name, Titanbicus carries a strength and dignity all its own.

At the flower field around the BMX course, Titanbicus blooms alongside five varieties of sunflowers. Beyond the familiar yellow, the lineup includes red varieties and gradient-petaled types, each with its own character.
The red Titanbicus holds its own among the sunflowers, adding vivid color to the field.
It's a summery pairing of flowers well worth seeing while it lasts.
