What is the name of my hibiscus?

This is a common question we ask when our unnamed plants bloom. Perhaps when we purchased our blooming beauties at the garden store or got one as a gift from a gardening friend only to discover no label. I've done searches online to see if I could locate a source for identifying the tropical varieties of hibs, but haven't found a truly useful site. However I have found a site where you can submit a photo and the get help in finding out the name of your plant. Give it a try and see what you think.
