Simple White Hibiscus

Sometimes simple is very appealing to me. This is a small all white flower.

Brugnanny..Its called white swan or white dainty..I have one and love it!! Thats a great closeup too!I had a pale pink form of this too at one time..wish I still had it.

That is really pretty,need to
get some seeds of those,i have
a white one that is like that
it has a red throat.Very pretty
too.

Eclipse . . I wish you still had the pink one also. I sure would have to find something to trade you. Thanks for giving me the name of this one. As usual there was no labeling on the pot except white, single.

Bitty . . tell me how to get the seeds and I will send them to you.

Frannie,
That is so pretty. Here is a little info on Tropical Hibiscus seeds.

This sounds like something I'd like to do...hybridizing T. Hibiscus.

Have never seen any like it, pretty, so clean and pure.

Great photo. Very very pretty.

Frannie, your hibiscus is very pretty. I'm just now getting excited about growing them, thanks to Kyle. Great photo.

This is listed in a book naming "Hibiscus La France" (this is in pink as well). I have the same variety. See http://plantsdatabase.com/go/47819/ Listed here under "Swan Lake". Cuttings take root easily. I have not seen its seeds.

Dinu..I tried crossing many other types of tropical hibiscus to this one..and no seeds!

Simply elegant!!!

"eyes"

i have some of those seeds i always meant to plant. gonna try again if i can find them! i need a full time gardener, no housekeeper, maybe both!

Arlene . . I will try and start you a cutting. Wish me success!

Brugnanny....is this the hibiscus with the very delicate foliage...? different from the the big leaved ones? Elaine

Frannie,
Would you start me a cutting too....Please!!!!

Oh Gloria . . I can't believe it - - you don't have this one. I will go out this evening and start a cutting for you and I am so happy to be able to do so!!

Frannie,
Thanks so much.

I haven't seen any flower go to seed. For that matter, many of the Hibiscus here, but rarely. Cuttings work well. Some say that the exposed top part of the cut wood should be covered with some plastic to prevent infection.

I had one seed pod form last year but I picked it a little to soon. :(
