                            Out of curiosity, I Id'd this on my phone app and it came up as H schizopelatus, but I am not sure. I am also nuturing a yellow variety of this.

                              I just can't help myself ... I bought another 'no name' today, four stems in one pot, so I have called it Giga after the GC ...

                                Lucky you @Victoria . I do like Hibiscus ( had them in France and Spain ) but this garden is far too shady for them to thrive. I'll just have to admire yours from afar :smile:
