Abelmoschus moschatus colors?

Does anyone know how many colors of Abelmoschus moschatus are available? I remember that P***s Seed Co., had them a number of years ago in red and pink forms. They've not carried them in years and it seems almost no one does now. I've seen the red variety, which is a beautiful little plant, but haven't run across the pink form. One place on the web I found said there is a yellow form, but the flowers and leaves looked more like A. manihot. Yet another showed a vining form with yellow flower and hairy leaves. I wonder if these are cases of misidentification? I noticed that the red A. moschatus and A. manihot seeds are on a certain mega-auction site.

    Hello, I'm new here and looking to exchange info with Hawaiian Hibiscus growers. I think I am in zone 11 but not sure.
