Does anyone have any ideas what this one could be? I know there are alot out there, but Im just hoping to ID it.
There are (please PLEASE forgive my naivety) 4 sets of anthers?? that Im seeing. There is no scent, it starts out before it blooms completely peach/orange in color, then when its fully open a very bright yellow.
I don't know what it is Shelly, but it sure is pretty!
She is very pretty Shelly. I have one I'm trying to get an ID on too. I'll have to put a picture up on it. Hope you find out who this little beauty is. By the way, I think it is normal for them to have several sets of anthers/stigmas. My doubles did a couple of years ago.
That is so pretty, Shelly. Can you root them? Would love to trade.
Thanks ladies! lol Brugie, I didnt know if that was normal or not, lol obviously I have no clue about hibiscus at all.
Hibiscus.. lol are you asking if I can root them?? Tell me how, and I will give it my best shot, and I would love to trade.
Here it is in the "daylight"
Guess I don't need anymore hibiscus. It's sure a pretty one tho'.

You are more than welcome to it, I just dont know how to root them.
I looked it up, and it looks pretty easy. I will give it a try for you Gloria.
Bless you. Good luck. PLMK how it goes.
It's a beauty shelly where did you get it? I got my last three from the supermarket bargain table. flowers had finished, hence the markdown table, so i was surprised when they bloomed to see what colors they were. I also have two peach and one red double. One of the peach ones is 4 1/2 tall and trained as a standard. I love them all.
I had one exactly like this called butterball. There is another one with a different name but I can't remember it.
I love the double yellow and the double off white. It is called elephant ears. go figure
Thanks Gardenmart, I got it at a local nursery here. Gosh! I wish our supermarkets sold Hibiscus! All we get are AVs, and vines. :o)
Thanks Sandy! I will go see how close that is to mine! Hope things are well with you.
Shelly,,very pretty! :-)
Still is a beauty Shelly. I'm wondering if there are some of the very same out there, that someone has put different names to?
Hibiscus, what was the name on yours?
Thanks Kyle!!
Gloria, it wouldnt suprise me.. lol Does yours have the red in the center? I cant tell from the pic. You still want it?
I would like one. I am doing ok waiting on another test. They are driving crazy. I am at a different dr now last month that one said he could not help me. I am growing very weary. Great to see you e-mail me sometime. my computer crashed and lost all e-mail addys
Blessings,
Sandy
P.S. There are several names for double yellows w/o red center. Have never seen one with red center but sounds wonderful.
Oh Sandy bless your heart!! Im sorry with all the Drs. Seems like ya get no where fast with them sometimes. My thoughts and prayers are with you more than you know.
Can I offer you some brug cuttings come fall instead? I already promised someone this hibiscus. It hates me here.. lol
Sandy,hope all comes out alright! ((HUG))
:-)
Yes, Shelly I still want it.
Kyle: Gloria Lessner sent it to me, called Full Moon. Do not know where she got it.

You are beyond words. Sure no problem. The heat here is making it hard to keep things alive. Tommorrow to be 113 with heat index. 105 today. I had to run errands and in and out of the car it sure heats up in between. We really need rain. I set out the sprinklers last night. DH was going to mow and rake pine needles (they are thick) And cut his toe Fri. and could not do it. It needed stitches but I used a hard piece of plastic for a splint as it was on the joint of his big toe. Put on antibiotic ointment and taped it up. Sat. the dressing fell off and he kept it still and monday not problem back to work in his work boots. God is Good. I told him I would stitch it if it came to that, as an emergency room ded was 100.00. I was serious. My SIL stitched up my nephews head when he was little because of no insurance. Just with plain thread. Sometimes the things that happen hear sound so crazy to be true. Did I tell you lightning struck our house 2 months ago? Second time in 2 years. This time came thru electric and phone. Took out our cordless phones, modem, fried dish tv box, and something on satelitte dish, Phone box outside was burnt black, Garage door opener. You know these things seem too far fetched to be true. We live with our garage door open as we have a 16 ft wood door you could not open and close by hand. They tell me it is the first to go when lightning stricks your house. This time we will get it a surge protector.
Thanks for the TLC.
Eclipse you are very sweet. I love everyone here I have so much family.
I go to see this doctor for the test on the 15 th. My birthday is friday the 13th. No such thing as bad luck when you have Jesus we just stump our toes alittle on big rocks sometimes.
My first grandaughter, Gwyneth-means blessing, was born on friday the 13 in oct 2000 and that is truely what she is. destiny was born on oct the 8th 2002, not sure the weekday. They spend every other weekend with us. DS and DIL like it and so do we. This is our arrangement not theirs and Gwyneth always wants to go to church. Destiny does she is just not asking yet. She loves it though. We call her munchkin. She will be 2 in oct. and is only wearing 12 months. She is so petite. And the looks she gives when you correct her. She thinks she scares somebody.
Sorry to rattle on. They are a light in the storm. Thanks Shelly. What color angel trumpets do you have?
Didn't think I would forget? LOL Just teasing.
Blessings,
Sandy
Could it be Heaven Scent Shelly?

I have one I just bought called Double Classic but no red.
Sandy.. WOW!! Thats all I know to say.. Just wow! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I dont know what to say, you have such an amazing attitude, for all that has happened.
Ya know Kell, I thought that too, I ran right to it, and stuck my nose in it, but there was no smell. lol
Whatever it is, it really is a pretty pretty flower in person.
Not much else I can do sometimes. Sometimes I just have to laugh I sometimes seems too funny that it keeps coming. Then the onther night I cried for awhile. In everything life deals Jesus is Good. He is my strengh.
Blessings,
Sandy
My "Heaven Scent" just bloomed; you might want to compare it to this:

Thank you TLC, I smelled it for about 4-5 days and nights, and there never was any smell, thats the closest I have seen tho.
