Strange Hibiscus Beauty

Okay check out this out pretty interesting - looks like some type of lilly but it's a hibiscus

Here's another look

It's given me 2 flowers exactly like this one - can you guess what it is??

It's chaffon breeze! Here's the twin on the other branch. See this is why I'm addicted to these plants - there's never any two exactly alike - in this case they are completely different but I'm delighted for the unexpected present!

Course June's Dragon got jealous about all the fuss over her neighbour so she tried something a little different too - but couldn't beat her competition!

Cest Bon was standing right behind June cheering her on - being careful not to outshine June!

This unknown red - just thought she'd smile brightly at all the going's on in the patch

Roslind thought she'd watch from the sidelines

The Lost Treasure twins came out to see what all the noise was about

First Impression said she was truly impressed with the stunning show of colors!

Chaffon Breeze has a really unique look to that first bloom. Love it. June's Dragon is such a beautiful bloom whether acting up or not. LOL! Great blooms, all of them.

Terrific pics, Ivana! I like your fun commentary too ;-)

June's Dragon is so funny with her one weird petal, and I'm totally into your First Impressions. Did you get that one at a box store or online? Besides your last lovely picture, I haven't seen a First Impressions before...

Those strange blooms on Chiffon Breeze are super pretty. Isn't it funny how different flowers are on the same bush sometimes? I've got an Evangeline in a hanging basket. These two pics were taken the same day, one on either side of the plant - just crazy!!

First one a double.

And this is a single on the opposite of the plant. I can't decide which is prettier!

Thanks Brugie - Amarantha - I'm liking your Evangeline. I've never seen hibiscus in a basket wow! I definately like the idea - perhaps you can post the entire basket so I can see it full view? Don't you just love hibiscus - you never know what to expect - I really like both views of Evangeline especially since they are on the same bush blooming at the same time. Sometimes Rosalind does that - single vs double & I'm just tickled when it does that. I don't know where First Impression came from - my hubby got it for me and refuses to tell me - he says it's his secret stash so I won't go crazy buying - and this way he's got something to truly surprise me with! I do know it came in the mail though but he removed the label when he threw away the box. I have to say I really love the bloom on it though - very bright and big - definately lights up my porch even when we're having bleak dreary weather! :)

ultimate you are either young or you have a greenhouse, right? lol. would that i could grow every one of those. thanks for the photos.
