My first brown flowered form..called Chocolate High, is a Curt Sinclair Hybrid.This was late today so the flash kinda puts the color out of balance.This one one of my $5 plants a while back. The edges aren't really orange but a dark sandy brown, if its open tomorrow I'll get a better pic.
this is my favorite bright red, and old old kind, Vulcan.
Don't know the name of this one...it changes color from time to time, from this pink to s buff color.
The original form of Cooperii variegated foliage, mostly green with pink splashes.Stays short 4 ft.
A rare wild Hawaiian form Kokio white or arnottianus this cutting is budded and bloomed today...the only fragrant wild form.
Another old old kind, H. Roweannas wedding..I love the form and shape of this one. small but long flower.
A new kind Hurricane Lily

This is one of todays flowers on my "Showgirl" These are the biggest tropical hibiscus flowers I have seen around here.

Wow, those are all beautiful; I particularly like the Wedding Day. Those bright colors are indeed beautiful :-)
Wow all are beautiful! It figures the only fragrant one is rare.
Marcy, nice flowers! :-)
Heres a better pic of Chocolate High taken today in sun.
Wow Kyle, these are just beautiful, I love that wild Hawaiian one, that one is awesome. Where did you get that one from?
A collector in Calif. Kartuz nursery in Ca. Carries it sometimes.
Thanks Kyle, I found it.
Wow...that chocolate DOES have a strange color. Hard to describe.
Marcy
Very pretty blooms, Kyle. Chocolate High (formerly called Jim Berry) was the first brown I got. It always showed weakness - same size in last two years - and the last time I visited my plants (I'm in Spain due to some events at work) it was about to die. I have to replace it next year. It had very few blooms but it worked well setting seedpods and as father aswell.

Carlos was yours grafted? mine is own roots. the plant is growing really fast and has doubled in size in just over a month.Setting buds well too, haven't checked to see if this first flower has set a pod yet.The plant does sprawl some what, did yours?
Kyle :-)
No Kyle, mine is - or was, I don't know - growing in its own roots as all Curt Sinclair's varieties, except Red Snapper which is grafted.
I would say my plant has upright growth and doesn't sprawl, well if growth means a pair of blooms and a dozen of leaves in two years.
Regards
Carlos
