That hibiscus flower was bigger than my head!!!
Hibiscus is another love of mine. I have made my own cross at our university greenhouse. The male was an orange flower with red towards the inside and deeply cut lobes on the leaves. The female was a red flower with the typical hibiscus leaves. All of the progeny show amazing variation in leaf patterns. Hopefully I found myself a gem...  |

I had no idea that they could grow so large! Your cross sounds like it could also give beautiful results - do you want to be a plant breeder in the future? Do they register Hibiscus hybrids like they do orchids?
Good growing |

We were making pies at a friend's house, at 2 in the morning, during finals week. Good times. |

i would like to be a hobby breeder, not a breeder by profession solely. my goal is to open up a unique type of plant nursery. can't leak my secrets just yet!
yes, hibiscus hybrids do get registered. they are very easy to pollenate and the seeds are easy to collect. i've also experimented with snapdragons and am doing round 2 on some right now. harder to pollenate and very small seeds.
hey hippy dude, nice sunburst on your guitar there. i'm a big fan of sunburst styling. my uncle gave me a charvel that has it. not many people know what charvels are, but they are pretty rad.
