Help with ID

Can you please let me know what this is. (as you can tell I'm a newbie)

Hi she, its kinda hard to tell for sure from your picture.
Is it a solid red bloom or does it have any other colors in it?

Heres a pic of a similar one I have called "EL Capitolio"

Thanks Dave. The flower does have the smallest amount of white that you can see when it is getting ready to bloom, almost like a candy cane at the base of the bloom. After looking at your picture, I am going to say that mine is also an El Capitolio. Thank you so much for your help.

I love the huge tufted end part. What do you call that big tuft of red? Is that the reproductive parts?

Kell, I am such a newbie that the only thing I can tell you is that the "reproductive parts" do stick out of the end of the bloom. It is beautiful isn't it. I am hoping that I can gather the seeds and sow them over the winter. Wish me luck.

I wish you luck! LOL

Kell, those are petaloids. Other blooms show it but in this variety they form a pompom which is its best charasteristic.
I've never seen or heard that El Capitolio - and its sports - set seeds. It has very few pollen sacs and deformed pads. But, on the other hand, it's the easiest tropical hibiscus to root from cuttings.

Carlo,
You are right, I found out yesterday in another thread that they do not set seed, but that is good news about rooting easily. I started two yesterday and am keeping my fingers crossed because it is such a beautiful flower. Thanks for helping :0)
