It looks like " Sunshower"

Emerald Hills, CA(Zone 9b)

How big is the flower? I can think of a few that it resembles just off the top of my head...Lady Cilento, Love Bug and Sun Showers.

The bloom is not as large as the Cajun ones but it is 6+". Now that it is open full the inside of eye is white.
Thanks for the names, this group is good and we will nail it down.

I'm voting for Sunshowers as well--that was my first thought just from looking at it, and I have Lady Cilento & Lady Bug too and they both (at least on my plants) have smaller flowers.

What ever it is DD, it is really gorgeous. you should get some more for yourself, that way you'll have more photos to share with us so we can enjoy them also.

Thanks guys. Guess she will be known as Sun Showers from now on.
Wilfed- Oh I have others just do not have time to post photos, mainly lurk here.
In the spring I made a run to Robert's and loaded up, maybe 25-30 of his cajuns. Not sure where this SunShowers came from. I have some others rooting, some just potted up to 4" pots.

My problem is with the heat in Texas I must grow in mostly shade. In shade they get lanky and can not hold the bloom up, plus less blooming I would think.

If you went to Robert's to get hibs, than you sure must have some real beauties to take photos of, I've seen Robert's hibs and they are just to gorgeous.

And that is why I ended up with 25 different ones, couldn't pick out a few.
Now have to add on or build another GH prior to the winter.

LOL! you'll probably fill it in less than a year, to bad you can't make your GH with two floor like a house.

DD, she's so pretty, love the contrasting colors together. It's a keeper for sure! Our Lowes doesn't carry the hybrids, guess we're too far north actually I've never found them locally, only through website vendors. All you lucky folks who can get them locally, I'd be grabbing em for sure too!

All of my Cajun hibs came from Robert. He is not local but work takes me to his area sometimes. I do live in the area where their are many GH growers. Several supply Lowe's and the other box stores. Good friends with some of them so get to see and sometimes get other plants from them. I'm very lucky to have them as friends.
The heating cost run too high for me to really have what I want. My new GH project will only be for over wintering tropical. I can not keep it warm enough to really grow them but come spring they take off. I will do makeshift benches and can use the space better. Stacking them in very close together is not great but works. Bug are a problem but I deal with it.
This is a good bloomer for me also. Dragon Fire.

You must have gotten one gorgeous collection of hibs right now DD, that "Dragon Fire" looks awesome, can't wait to see what else you got for yourself at Robert's.
