A Confederate rose (Hibiscus mutabilis) blooms, Oct. 23, 2021, in Fairhope, Alabama. The Confederate rose is native to China and is now found on all continents except Antarctica. They open white or light pink and change to deep pink or red by evening. Despite its name, the Confederate rose is not a rose but is instead a type of hibiscus. (Photo by Carmen K.
