I need some help with an ID for this Hibiscus

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

Hi, I need help with the ID of this Hibiscus ... I was just told its a tropical when I bought it from a nursery. ... That narrows it down ... lol .... So, I thought I'd ask the local Hibiscus Experts :D
This won't stop blooming ... :D ITs not variegated thats another type of hibiscus in the back ground...
The Flower is pure white with a red center. The leaves are dark green.
If anyone can help with its scientific name I'd sooooooo appreciate it :D

If you need to see more pictures of it ... please let me know :D

I don't know the name but I love the pinwheel shaped flower. Which nursery had this one?

Nice blooms. Unfortunately I don't know the cultivator name either.

A nursery that is no longer around unfortunately. I bought this awhile back when they were having their going out of business clearence sale. I've seen similar ones ... But not one quite like this one.

After looking around a bit trying to figure it out I'm gonna take a stab at it and say it is perhaps Hibiscus "White Wings". It's a hibiscus that has been around for decades but is currently becoming quite popular again.

I have a White Wings and when researching the plant I came across this little tidbit in the Plant files...

"On Jul 4, 2007, Daturapod from Wilmington, NC (Zone 8a) wrote:
H. "White Wings" the pads are red
H. "Versicolor White" the pads are yellow
So from the pad color of these photos they are of "Versicolor White"
It's a very common mistake. Many Nurseries call VW WW. So it's easy to mix up."


Based solely on that statement I'd say your yellow pads = Versicolor White

so its called a vericolor white? Is it a hibiscus rosa sinense? aka a tropical?
Can you send me the link to the plant file please? :D
