Barry, Magnifique is one from Dupont

Well, the ones Cat posted up above didn't impress me overly, but that one you grew and photographed has an awesome pile of petaloids, Robert. Seen that a lot? Good growing.

Cat, I liked your topaz lizard shot! I captured a green Anole like that on a white bloom and my friend Veronika rendered it in colored pencils for the inside back cover of the Tropical Hibiscus Handbook I edited for the Am Hib Society, back in 2003. Check it out if you have the Handbook . . Since we stopped using most poisons we have tons of lizards here. I squashed a caterpillar on a seedling today and a nearby lizard emerged and gave me a really dirty look. Stole his lunch, I guess.
Attached is a more recent menagerie.
