I have this incredibly lovely tropical Hibiscus in my yard, behind my pond. It doesn't flower that often, as I think it probably is not getting enough sun, BUT when it does bloom, it is spectacular. I'd love to know what cultivar it is, so I can purchase a couple more. It is so huge and so gorgeous, we just love it. Any help providing a name to this lovely Hibiscus would be very much appreciated. Patty S:

Hah, I think I figured this out on my own. Looks like I have Hibiscus 'Rainbow Christie'. Pretty sure. There is an improved variety called 'Over the Rainbow'. I think the mystery may be solved :-)
