| I have a hibiscus that has flowers that are yellow/orange on the edges of the petals and reddish on the inside. On this same plant, a flower opened that is pure red (no yellow or orange). The plant is definitely a single (not a multiple planting). What gives? Is this common?--It's gorgeous by the way! |

| leaves and flowers that are variegated, or splotched with white or cream, tend to be unstable, meaning some growth can be on or the other color |

| Last year I had a peach colored one that had single and double flowers on the same plant - I never did take any pics of it. |

| I have a red hibiscus that produced a peach and red flower on one branch. They do mutate as far as I understand. |
