Hope Town Abaco, Bahamas(Zone 11)

This Hibiscus has distinctive leaves, which are rounded and a bit shiny. Can anyone tell me what it is??
Thanks!

Next photo will be a close up of flower.

The flowers last for two or three days...which is unusual for most of the Hibiscus in my garden. They are also quite large (and very lovely!)

Looks like Hawaiian sunset. If you sent me the plant I could tell better. LOL ;-)

Hi Kitty & all:
I think it isn't Hawaiian Sunset. HS has a more compact eye and - here's the main difference - a fuchsia ring around the eye. Also it has orange pads instead of red ones although some varieties can have different pads colors.
I would say your plant is a variety called Joan.

Carlos, do you have a photo of "Joan". There is not one in the plant files.

The leaves of mine are definitely rounded, and rather smooth...which made me unsure about the Hawaiian Sunset.

Thanks for any help!

Kitty, I have 15 pictures of Joan saved on my PC. None is mine since I don't have it. If you want I can send you privately.

Thanks Carlos, that would be great. (you don't have to send all of them!)
I appreciate it,

Carlos, Today I noticed a bloom that has a larger petaloid, and the veins don't seem so pink/red. I do believe I have a "Joan"...thanks so very much!!
