We have quite a few of these plants growing in my area. Some of them are large and flower profusely...very attractive. During the winter months, the one behind my house displays almost brownish-colored leaves...but in the spring the lovely blossoms appear and the leaves brighten considerably. It is a charming and somewhat unusual plant. I have seen various colors of the blossoms...mine are of the deep rosy pink variety.
