These are comparative pictures of two types of Hibiscus growing at my home, one (the left hand side) changes colour while the other (the right hand side) remains white throughout the day.

Both the two plants are shrubby, around 7 to 8 feet tall.

The question is - can the second plant be considered as a H. mutabilis species?

Thank you.

Best regards,

I think yes. Being cultivated, I think such variations maybe possible as seen at Hibiscus mutabilis

It's a strange world, Sir, where 'common crow' is a butterfly, and custard apple is neither custard nor an apple !!!

Yes, Sir, albino tiger is still a tiger!

Thank you.
