Garden swap - mystery white flower not a mystery anymore

16 years ago

At gardenfrog's plant swap I received some "mystery" white flowering plants. I have since found out that they are hibiscus trionum, aka "flower of an hour". The gardener who brought them said to let her know if I found out what they were. Well this is what they are.

"Hibiscus trionum"

Thanks Remy...this has been driving me crazy since I too received it at the summer exchange, and now it has bloomed. Very sweet and thanks for finding and sharing this information.
