Well actually, our summers are usually that hot. Believe it or not it is quite uncomfortable for a couple months July, August, September... It sometimes gets over 100º and always humid! But the typical summer day would be 85º + 80% humidity. Sound nice??

I have no idea if my experiment will work... I think you can pollinate a hybrid. I read a lot on Hidden Valley Hibiscus and when you click on any of the flowers, he sometimes tells you the parents of each. Like Saffron, (which is a blooming nut at my house right now) her parents are 'Misfire' & 'Norman Lee', and 'Acapulco Gold' is the offspring of 'Fifth Dimension' and 'Georgia's Pearl'. So I would think they are fertile. If not, I'm in for a disappointment! I'll be waiting around the bush for 4-5 weeks for nothing to grow!

Here is a photo of Saffron from today!
