While visiting my sister up in Fort Worth I fell in LOVE with this beautiful plant. The plant appears to be a single stalk at the base...but this could be her pruning.I found two seed pods from her Hibiscus. I tried germinating 5 of the seeds and so far TWO have sprouted. (BTW, I used the baggie method and after two weeks, nothing..so I nicked the seeds and ...wahla! one day later 2 sprouts!) I understand that the babies may not resemble the mama.

Not sure where she purchased, but could have been Lowes, Home Depot or other garden center in the area. Wondering if anyone has an idea or guess at the exact variety???
