    Curious if anyone can identify two different hibiscus I have had for some time but would like to the names.

    Here is the first photo: (this one remains smaller size overall, denser leaf distribution and the flowers are about half the size of my other three "standard" size hibiscus blooms, possible to be a "Dwarf"?)

    Second hibiscus I am interested in learning it's name: This one has large bright yellow flowers with a Red center. Interesting on this one is the shape of the leaf, a high gloss round shape.

    Thanks again.............. Mark

    Google "hisbiscus florida" and find specialty sellers. There's at least one in Ft Lah-de-dah that has a wide variety of even some of the oddest ones. Not my favorite mucky green Swamp Thing, though. Alternatively, find the garden club in your area, especially if it is for hibiscus fans, and check them out. I realize you may not be interested in buying more or collecting, but specialists love to talk about their babies.
