Painted Lady Hibiscus, rather like the one that my sister rjc has:

I wish that I had pics of the Brown Hibiscus that my late brother had, It was amazing.

It was the only one that I have ever seen, and Hibiscus are everywhere in south Florida. It was a mutation of one of the red varieties, The blooms were a deep chocolate brown. He tried for awhile to get it to reproduce, but all he would get were reds of varying shades.

YelowRose, your picture is great, I have 20 hibiscus, all different colors, reds, pinks, yellows and peach. Most of them are the basic single hibiscus but I do have a couple of the double hibiscus, those are the peach colored ones. I have a weeping hibiscus tree in front of my living room window and it is pink. I love these plants because they do so well and bloom year round here in Florida, plus they really don't require a lot of work.

I so enjoy seeing the pictures you post, you are very talented with photos. Thanks for sharing.
