I expect it is a rosa-sinensis something or other. I found it at a local nursery. The flowers point to the sky.

That Beautiful bloom does looks like a variety/cultivar of Tropical Hibiscuses (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) to me too but I don't know which cultivar. I looked through all those with photos in the database as well as bunches when I googled but couldn't find a match. Hopefully someone will recognize it and be able to offer the cultivar name.

Thank you Lin, i guess i can't add it to the database without the name of the cultivar, right? I appreciate that you checked the database. This category is so huge and daunting. I also looked through some photo there and came up empty.

I found a google image that closely resembles the flower (along with some websites)...Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Mar Pacifico but this is not an option in the database, so when i try to add it to the database i receive an invalid message. Would someone be able to double-check this for me? I don't want to offer up something that is not correct. We all know how reliable the google images are

No, it looks like Flor del Mar Pacifico is used as a synonym for Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.

Beverly, Since you can't be sure of the exact cultivar name of your lovely Hibiscus you can upload your image to the general entry for Hibiscus rosa-sinensis which is where we can put our photos if we don't know the exact name: Tropical Hibiscuses (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)

Lin, that's just what i was looking for but couldn't find it I think i'll use a different photo though with more foliage. Also, thank you for thinking the bloom is lovely. A recent visitor to my garden shook her head and said "i don't like it" You know how we gardeners are about our plants. It's as though she had told me i have an ugly baby. It just isn't done I think i'll leave the plant in circulation for awhile here. Maybe someone will recognize it.

Beverly, I guess we humans do have different tastes but it amazes me that anyone wouldn't love that beautiful bloom! I think it's beautiful, I love the soft shade and that red throat ... very elegant!
