Georgia's Farm to Market http://www.facebook.com/georgiasmarket In addition to her work on Hibiscus Flavonoids which are discussed on this thread, Georgia Bost created numerous Hibiscus hybrids and maintained lines of native North American native species which she used in her research. Under her BOSTx®HHHybrids™ brand, Georgia Bost held US Plant Patents for her Hibiscus hybrids, which include the following.

In my quest for heirloom Hibiscus, I have found it all too common that upon the death of a Hibiscus breeder, many of their Hibiscus creations die with them. Let us hope that the gardener’s of Huston but aside a small plot of land where Georgia’s Hibiscus can be cultivated for all to enjoy in her memory. Rest in Peace, Georgia! Mike |
