Artfilter: what flower is featured in the Warhol series "Flowers"?

That's really about it. Here's a decently sized image of one of the pieces, if that helps.

Best answer: Yes, and further, this article from Slate confirms the flowers were hibiscus.

My parents have had a large print of "Flowers" up on the wall for pretty much my entire life. When Murphy Brown had one version on her wall, it always made me very happy to see it.
