| my hibiscus flowers look like the flowers on pepper plants, the stems are a darker color than when i first planted it 2 years ago. last year the flowers were small and in the fall orange pods grew that resembled japanese lantern. this year they are flowering the same way except one smaller plant that has the lighter colored stem .i ripped them all up except this one which hasn't flowered yet. does anyone know why this is happening? what happened to my big beautiful flowers? |

| It's possible that the original plants died off, and what you have are seedlings that did not breed true. |
