    Oh, you have the white to pink. I really like that one. That is the most dramatic. I had one, but it died.
    Thanks for posting.

    Molly, it is 4 or 5 years old. I got it from Rose Lee at a swap.

    Glengarry:
    the botanical name is hibiscus mutabilis. It is of the mallow and cotton family.
    I wish I could send you some cuttings, but that is probably illegal.
