Does Anyone Know My Name???

She's a little faded but still beautiful ....

She is beautiful indeed!! So pretty she looks fake.......almost like the Confederate Rose, kind of papery like........a very poor description for a real pretty flower.

She's a tropical .... I would love to have the hardy Confederate Rose

Judy

kind of looks like my Kona

I have Kona as well and this one looks maybe a little lighter color of pink than mine, but since you say it's faded some and since colors don't always show up right in pictures it definitely could be. Kona's the only double pink I'm familiar with but I'm sure there are others too that could look very similar.

I'm sorry I have lead you in the wrong direction... she started off as this

I don't remember my Kona having the gradation of color from darker to lighter that it looks like yours has, it was more uniform pink all the way through (but it's not blooming right now so I couldn't say for sure)

nope is not Kona looking at the second pic

Thanks to DonnaS who posted a link to one of my other Hibiscus I was able to locate the name for this one

Hi Judy,

The Hibiscus you have asked about is called "PromGirl" I have several of them in my collection and Just love them. Good Luck and may she have bountiful blooms

Here might be another possibility....

'Amber Suzanne' http://www.exotic-hibiscus.com/pages/amber.htm

Whatever her name is she is beautiful

Love that shade of pink, Judy. Very pretty.

Gosh Judy, from that link you posted, looks like your hibisiscus you posted a picture of here is dark star, they look so much alike.

I looked up prom girl, it doesn't really look like that one.

kathy

Just my opinion though
