It's time for The Masked Singer season 10. Since this is the biggest season yet there has been a lot of hype for this season's masked contestants. One of the most intricate masks belongs to Hibiscus. Naturally, we want to know who is Hibiscus in The Masked Singer season 10. 

With a bold red flower, bright green stem (i.e. pants) and a dazzling headpiece, Hibiscus brightens your day like the flowers they're named after. 

Hibiscus makes their debut in Week 7 during The Masked Singer season 10's One-Hit Wonders Night. 

Thankfully, ahead of the show's premiere a few clues were released on social media to give fans a head start at guessing Hibiscus' identity.

Who is Hibiscus on The Masked Singer season 10? Theories

Unlike some of the other social media posts for The Masked Singer season 10 contestants like Gazelle, Husky and Royal Hen, Hibiscus' post doesn't have any clips from a performance, nor does it offer much to work with. However, there is something of a clue in the way the brief social media teaser is worded. 

"Can you guess who this 'budding' performer is?" the teaser asks the audience. "Budding" is an obvious flower reference, of course, but it could also be key to figuring out the identity of the performer under the Hibiscus mask. "Budding" could also refer to an up-and-coming talent, whether they're an athlete, actor or musician. They could also be a young social media influencer, too, as The Masked Singer has a history of recruiting YouTubers in the past. 

Some fans are already making guesses about Hibiscus' identity, with one fan suggesting that Hibiscus could even be the legendary Ru Paul. 

As soon as the panelists offer their guesses and theories about Hibiscus, we'll have them for you right here. 

One-Hit Wonders Night guesses: Kim Zolziak, Luann de Lesseps, Bonnie Hunt and Janice Dickinson

Who is Hibiscus on The Masked Singer season 10? Show clues

Once Hibiscus makes their debut on The Masked Singer, we'll leave the clues provided during the show right here. 

One-Hit Wonders Night clues: 

Karaoke one-hit-wonder clue: "I'm too sexy" "I've been in a couple of beauty pageants and I've also worn a tiara."

Voiceover clue: "My life has been part fairy tale, part soap opera, and part comedy of errors. Emphasis on the comedy. My love of the stage stems from childhood. I grew up in a large family and had to compete for attention. Which led to my love of performing, where I got all the attention I craved. I was a total late bloomer who, after a hospital stint, became a sexy flower in the big city. I was approached in a café and told I look like Sharon Stone. From there, I hobnobbed with royalty. Everyone from David Bowie to Sir Elton John. And eventually I blossomed into who I am today. Minus a few pitfalls, falling outs and a husband or two. But at the heart of it all, performing is my soul. And now, this flower is ready to get a little dirty."

The Masked Singer season 10 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox and streams the following day on Hulu
