this one opened at work today, is a cross of Chocolate high X kiss n tell.Small but nice reflexed flower. 4 1/2 -5 inches, nice branched upright plant.the color changes as the day progresses.from an even orange in the morning to a luminous gold/orange with a yellow blush. In bloom you are attracted to the flower from way across the greenhouse.The color is that different.very eye catching.Since this is the first flower it may change next time, get bigger, etc. So time will tell.

Hi Kyle,
Very nice!!! and if you decide to let it go I'll take it. LOL
Needs a petite elegant name. What did you have in mind when you first saw it?

Nice, Kyle. If you run out of room, you know where she can continue growing. LOL!
LOL ..
Another beauty Kyle! I say keep! Just remember there's always room for your babies in Southern California too :-)
This is the prettiest keeper so far. Waaah, I want one, lol.
This one is a keeper Kyle, very nice.
OK..officially decided..its a keeper. :-)
Aw Shucks! I thought if you were pitching it, you could send it to the Hibiscus Humane Society here in Kansas ;) - Just lovely, Kyle. Can't wait for the next bloom! Waaaaaaaa Don't call it Blood Orange - that isn't a very petite or elegant name. lol I love it when they seem to reach out and grab you from a distance like that.
Well Kyle - I think it's definitely a trasher. So throw it away to me here in Alvin!!!! :)
Jk - I love it though!
The colors are beautiful, but I also like the way the edges of the petals are somewhat frilly like a ladies dress
Keeper, Keeper, Keeper!
I bring them in and over winter them. They flower for me all winter. Than back outside in May.
