JRsbugs said:The question is, was the seed bought as a hybrid, in which case you could claim a name if you knew what that name was.
If the seed came from a plant already growing, and that plant was a hybrid, then you can't give it a name as hybrids don't grow true from seed unless they have been directly hybridised by the grower.
Hibiscus section Muenchhusia: Hibiscus coccineus is another North American member of section Muenchhusia, which is composed of hardy, herbaceous, perennial Hibiscus species. Within section Muenchhusia, there are numerous naturally occuring forms as well as flower colors, ranging from pure white to deep red.
JRsbugs said:Now that is interesting!
Do you know if the species claimed to be species were actually true species?
Do you know if the pollination process was isolated from other Hibiscus?
You need to know the answers to those two questions. If the answer is they were true species, and if the pollination process was isolated, then you would have a new hybrid from crossing those two species.
There are apparently different forms within the section including H. coccineus, a white form looks possible to have produced the flower you have with H. moscheutos.
