My birthday present has bloomed

A huge flower on a not so big plant. It lasts only a day. Then you have to wait until the next flower.

I never heard of such a flower, but according to the pic you've taken it must be a rare beauty.
Ciaooo!

Can't believe you've never heard of it!! It is an Ibiscus del Delta, you can find it red or white or pink, not only yellow!
It's definitely beautiful!
