I'm so glad! There's a gardener in New Jersey who asked me for seeds. He's trying to hybridize hibiscus that will be hardy in NJ. He recently sent a photo of his and I have to admit, his is fuller and has more blooms than the parent plant here! Mine is sulking in the intense heat.

He was also searching everywhere for a Yellow Rosemallow calyphyllus in May. He could only find one in a nursery here in Austin, but they wouldn't ship it to him. He got in touch with me and I told him that nursery was nearly "just around the corner!" I was able to send him four small ones, and two were blooming.
