I like the color version of the flower.
Some photos look good in color, other in black and white. Flowers probably in color.
Flowers call for COLOR.....oft times foliage alone works beautifully in B&W.....
Hibiscus flowers are very bright or very rich in the reds so lighting is especially important for pleasing images in my humble opinion.....
Color, but the colors in your photograph need improvement. That red is dull and not representative of a real hibiscus, at least not the colors of hibiscus I am used to see here in South Florida.
If you use Photoshop go to Adjustments>Vibrance. A window will open with two parameters, Vibrance-Saturation. Vibrance improves dull colors while saturation is a universal control. Move the Vibrance arrow to the right to taste and if necessary use saturation.
If you like it like it is simply ignore me.
I like the B&W. It has more contrast, more pop.

In many photos, Color or B&W are not mutually exclusive. They are both beautiful in their own way. Some photos are just more captivating in B&W. You know it when you see it.
I prefer black & white images, but sometimes color is the only thing that works for the image. Here is one of my black & white images. You can see more on FB @doublegimages.

I mostly like color. It is warmer. BB
In this case, color has more interest. BB
Color, but punch it up a bit, more contrast. B&W might work if more contrast, too.
The color is by far the best
