Hibiscus and Mr. Bee ~

I believe this to be a Hibiscus flower, possibly in the Rose of Sharon family...I may be incorrect. This tree belongs to my neighbor and she no longer lives in the home, so she is not there to ask. I did do a search on-line and found similar but not this particular color combination. If you look real close, there is a busy bee in the middle of the flower...just as I would get my camera to focus properly, he would fly to another flower! So, this was the best I could do with Mr. Bee.
Sending sunshine and pretty flowers from Southern Cal.
