seed sucker

hehehe just bought some seeds off of ebay (getting addicted on that too -_-)...I know these seeds won't come true like the ones in the picture, but I'm just hoping some will look similar to these gorgeous plants.

Has anybody tried growing tropical hibiscus from seeds? And if you have tried, what are your outcomes? What is the likelihood of 5 seeds looking similar (or 80-95%) to the parent plant? I think the seeds that I have bought were pollinated by the same hybrids (orange mandarin x orange mandarin).

Just getting giddy, these are my first "fancy" coloured hibiscus...I only see red ones or pink ones here.
