Yellow Hibiscus

[Fabolusus]

When I was in Hawaii last October, I couldn't help but notice all of the $2 plant cuttings available in the ABC stores (it's a 7-11 type store). I picked up some arundinia and hibiscus. So a little more than a year later, the hibiscus is 5 ft tall, and just bloomed for the first time!

That is a real beauty, Fabolusus.

I also have the yellow and the salmon Hibiscus along with the common red ones. They are very pretty.

Very nice photo.

Very lovely Fabolusus. I have a few varieties that I grow in my perennial
garden and they are my fall exhibitionists.

Beautiful. I have an orange variety which I purchased from the Fruit and Vegetable Exibition at Mumbai. It is one of the plants which require very little care. Only you have to give them lots of sunshine. Thanks.

I grew mine under HID lights, with no sunshine at all.

Fabulosus: Can't believe that you could bloom a hibiscus under lights. That's great. Beautiful yellow color - I only had one yellow one this year. It was a nice change from the coral and reds that I usually get. This year, I also found a peach colored one that started as orange-peach and gradually faded to a pinkish color.

Before this, it put out very deformed buds that always failed to open. I came very close to giving it away, but now I think I'll keep it!

This is what it looked like when I first got it:

i bought a pot of gypsy music on impulse a few yrs ago; discovered there were FOUR plants stuffed into a 4 inch pot.

i repotted them in 6 inch pots and they continue to grow on my deck in a western exposure. they're in the kitchen for the winter now. very showy, but aphid hotels.

wow! that is 'pure' yellow.

I have never seen one like that without at least some colour at the base or the filaments or anthers.

Thanks for posting.

LCA,
The yellow is stunning!! Great looking bloom.

Thanks Guys. Too bad the blooms don't last but two days...
