Hibiscus plants (gumamela) are perfect flowers/specimens.
This means that the flower of the hibiscus plant has all the structures found in a flower. These include the male and reproductive structures, petals, sepals, and receptacles.

Another flower is the Bougainvillea.
Description
Bougainvillea spectabilis is a tropical perennial shrubby vine. It can be grown as an annual or container plant and makes an excellent addition to a pool or patio space. It prefers moderately fertile, organically rich soil that retains moisture but is not soggy. Bougainvillea is best suited to a hot, dry climate and should be watered deeply but allowed to dry out between waterings. Once established, they are drought resistant. It is a woody climber that can support itself on other plants by means of curved thorns carried in the leaf axils and by quasi-twining stems and should be kept away from high traffic areas as the thorns can be painful. It is best tied to a structure such as a fence, wall, or pergola for support.
