This H. rosa sinensis cultivar is named FIESTA. The blossom is large & I think it resembles the swirling skirt of a lady flamenco dancer. Even photographed indoors under controlled lighting it is very difficult to capture the rose pink center of the flower. The bush grows outdoors in my backyard in San Diego and was started from a cutting about 10 years ago. Now blooming profusely with 6" diameter flowers. Photo 5-6-2004. WTH.
