Grok says: The white fibers in your photo are not part of the
hibiscus. They are a dandelion pappus (the fluffy white parachute of a
dandelion seed) that floated on the wind and got caught on the long
red stamen. It’s a beautiful but completely accidental moment — the
kind that happens when a breeze carries a seed head past a blooming
flower.
Photos that capture a red hibiscus together with a visible dandelion
seed pappus are very rare. Most stock libraries show the two plants
separately because the combination depends on perfect timing and wind.
