Photo of What Type of Hibiscus?

The photo is, in fact , of a cutting from the main plant. I've taken many cuttings and all seem to be doing fine. Those that have bloomed are all the el capitilo.

I think the main plant --a hedge-sized specimen-- maybe a product of multiple grafts, since the red flowers are distinctly different, plain without the extended-center of the flower pictured. I have yet to take a cutting that flowers red.

Here's a shot of the main bush(es), to the left of the croton. One of the hibiscus trunks is shown clearly here.
