Hibiscus Cultivars at the San Diego Zoo ID?

Our family was down at the San Diego Zoo this week, and I was able to snap a few photos of some really beautiful hibiscus. I'd like to add these 3 cultivars to my yard. Hoping someone on this forum can ID the cultivars. The bottom one I believe is 'Rainbow Christy', a foundation hibiscus from Charle Black of Hidden Valley Hibiscus, which I did have in my yard, but I fear it has gotten crowded out, as I haven't seen it bloom in quite a while (and, it is impossible to find, now):
