A surprise this morning

10 years ago

My yellow hibiscus has always had single flowers but this morning it's given me something a little different. Any ideas how I can reproduce this? If I was to take a cutting from where this flower has come from would it produce this kind of bloom or would they be single blooms?

Linda,
On very rare occasions, you will get flukes. The most unusual I have seen is on a thread attached. The flower had 3 stamens. Very likely, this is a one off instance that will not happen again.

Thanks Ed, I thought maybe it would just be a one off thing, too bad, I quite like it
