Black Jack

This is the second bloom on my new plant from Martindale's. I will start a separate thread for Yoda!

This is the most unusual hibiscus I have ever seen. I am amazed at a brown and orange flower.

another angle

one more

This is the first bloom, it was just about ready to open when I received the plant.
These are from Martindale's, just huge wonderful plants!!

another view of the first one, and you can see the wonderful plants that were sent.

I think this bloom last over FIVE days. I have never had a hib bloom last so long.

It started opening on May 11.

That picture was at 1:30pm
by 5:45 this was what I had.

I love Black Jack, but then again, browns are my favs, lol

That is a pretty brown and I love all the different color phases.

Here is a new bloom today.

one further out.
Notice it is making seed pods from previous blooms and there is another bud too.

Do you think the seeds will come true or is it a toss up? I don't know what I am going to do with all these hibiscus. I took about 50 cuttings off of the ones I wintered over and they are all rooting and sprouting out. ^_^

I may have to give them away. LOL

Hi, 9kitty
I love this, it is such an oddity! Or maybe not, I don't have any hibiscus but have been lurking occasionally here. Do they root very easy? I wish you had one for postage. LMK

No, seeds won't come true. But you never know, they might even be prettier!

Very pretty!!

Great pics, Kittymom :-) Black Jack is a beautiful and prolific bloomer, I'm sure you're going to really enjoy this plant!

just wanted to post some more pictures of Black Jack. It just keeps putting on beautiful blooms.

This is what it looks like after it has been drenched with rain. LOL

Usually just brown. Sooooo unusual.
