Better late than never!
Ch. Grimaldi x P. & Cr.
Another view-top.
WOW!!! If the color I'm seeing is true to life (sometimes it isn't---OLD computer/monitor) I'll trade you almost anything for a start of it. Wowsers!
Wow Hibiscus!! What a beautiful color. Is this your cross?
Beautiufl color. Will the plant have green or variegated leaves?
Hate to tell, but plain velvet leaves. By: Karma-ht.
Color is correct.
Wow, it's nice.

Very Pretty!!!
Beautiful, pretty color!
Gloria......this is a beauty. Love the color and the shape of the bloom. I'm glad you have something blooming now. It sure was a long time coming, wasn't it?
good for you Hibiscus!! how many seedlings did it take from that cross to get this beauty?
look at this........ NH seems to be having trouble hybridizing P & C.

Very pretty. Almost delicate looking.
Well done Hibiscus! As the experienced hybridizers here say, Versicolors produce alot of white-flowered offspring....not only that but crossing pinks to yellows produce mostly whites too!
Kell..i think NH are haveing problems useing P&C as a mother, not as a father!

Very nice! Can't wait to see it Big and grown up, hope it has lots of blooms next year!
Beautiful!
Thanks everyone. Was waiting for someone to tell me to try growing it in a BIGGER pot!
Karma-ht hybridized this one, she sent me the seedling this spring. All of hers' were white or nondescript, or not blooming yet. She says she will have to keep all of the seedlings......
oh, how can you tell that Mr. Plantaholic?
I love the color and the shape....keep me in mind if you ever offer cuttings.......pppllleeeeaaassseee
Got it CC.
Very pretty, I love the color.
Very pretty, Gloria! Nice photo, too (o:
Yes, try a bigger pot ..and your brug will grow bigger.
What are you going to name it?
Kell, I love you.

I hoped so Ludger, you talked Celsius to me so nicely. Drove me pink with desire!
LOL kell.
Kell: Because they say that none of P&C's seeds contain chlorophil. The seed bearer is always the mother!
Gloria....don't forget to put me on your list for cuttings:) I will take the usual two:) LOL
Could we get a pic of the leaves too? How is the fragrance of this one?

Ok, Owen, (2) it is.... Fragrance is good, regular leaves,not serrated, NOT variegated, think this is what everyone was striving for. will post a picture.

Well I had to read the book where pollen was, anthers, stamen, etc....I'm gettin' old.

LOL Owen, please explain it to poor Hibiscus!!!
Nah....think I will pass before I get in more trouble:) lol
Good boy!
