Reply:We call it 大红花 = da4 hong2 hua1
大 = big
红 = red
花 = flower
Direct translation is Big red flower. But the actual name is hibiscus.
Reply:芙蓉
fu2 rong2
I guess
Reply:According to my knowledge and further investigation, hibiscus is not something called "Big Red Flower". Actually, "BRF" refers to a really big, red flower, which can be of any species or genus.
Both "mujin" and "furong" is taxonomically right. I bet, however, many Chinese people won't know what you are talking about if you mention "mujin" to them. "Furong" is much more acceptable in Chinese popular culture.
Hope that helps
