My hibiscus usually produces peach-colored flowers, but today I noticed a lovely pink flower on the same tree; this one looks very different from the usual peach flowers. (See pictures).

I've tried doing this as soon as the pollen sacs open but the pods are still falling.

Greetings from Peterborough Ontario

Earlier this summer I salvaged 2 Hibiscus plants from a garbage container at a local distributors.They were almost done for but with a little care I was able to restore them back to vigorous healthy specimens.
My two plants are blooming everyday. (usually with 3 or 4 new blooms)

From what I have read up on these beautiful plants, it seems that I have a red one with single flowers and a pink with doubles.

I'm wanting to...

One is called Cosmic Dancer and is my favorite - but it's now developing brown spots on the leaves and the flowers are getting smaller. I live in Hawaii, up on the slopes so it's cooler than at sealevel. There's very little breeze, it's humid, and even with the cool temps, hibiscus do well up here (the common variety anyway.)

Here's a pix of the leaves (first 2 photos): (Is...
