Where it works
Matilda Smith's Socotran hibiscus is a single butter-yellow bloom with a crimson eye over grey-green toothed leaves and dissections on a cream 1902 page. The yellow lifts a kitchen or a sunroom with white or sage walls at 16×24 in natural wood, and pairs with the Yellow Pitcher Plant.
