More recent Exotic Hibiscus blooms....

Here's some more recent Exotic Hibiscus blooms from my collection:
hibiscus-9.jpgI like the soft pastel coloring of the bloom above.  The one below is certainly different, but I think only worthy of planting in my yard and let it fend for itself this winter.

hibiscus-6.jpgI like the shape and coloration of the bloom below.  White spotting in hibiscus blooms can be a seasonal thing so I'm looking forward to see what the coloring does this fall.
hibiscus-7.jpgI believe this lavender colored bloom is a named cultivar.  I plan to use it for my hybridizing program this fall.  Like Brugmansia, Exotic Hibiscus do not set seeds well in extreme heat so I'll have to wait until October to start hybridizing again.
hibiscus-8.jpgMany growers do not like the mustard colored blooms, but I think they are cool.  The seedling pictured below has been a very good bloomer so far and I plan to work this one back into my hybridizing program in the fall.

Stay tuned for another batch of Hibiscus bloom photos on Friday.
