Hi,
I have a hardy hibiscus (not sure what type it is). It is a very different type of hibiscus just to give you some background--the plant grows what I'd describe as individual skinnier stalks instead of the normal bush like appearance. And the flowers are amazing--a dark rich pink with a Stamen that is very very bright yellow--and pink on the very ends. My step father found some seeds at an old abandoned homesite and planted them about 15 years ago. He gave me two very late last fall but only one made it through the winter.
The seed pod is not as wrinkled and pointed as all the other hardy hibiscus seed pods I have seen.
The closest hibiscus it resembles is a Disco Belle, but I know it is not that type. Any ideas on what kind it might be? I can send you a pic if you e-mail me with your e-mail address.
