Hi guys.
Uh...sorry it took me so long to see this. You guys would probably know more about that flower than I. It was one of the very first plants I ever had and it was given to me. It was a tiny little seedling just sprouting and left on my doorstep with an invitation to attend an event in my new neighborhood at the time. The container was a little plastic one like you would get at a big box store for a couple of dollars and it was labeled a Hibiscus and had one of those general plant care plastic spikes inserted in it.

I liked the picture of the plant on the spike (a red Hibiscus) and I didn't want to see the plant die so I 'adopted it' and brought it indoors and potted it. A few months later the photo you see is the end result.

My dog constantly nibbled at it and the plant got some kind of aphid or little white bug. I never could quite get rid of them. It died soon after the picture was taken. That picture is about 7 or 8 years old so I have no other information on the plant.

I apologize for having not gotten back sooner. Please feel free to label it accordingly as you know Hibiscus better than I. I grow cacti, aloes and agaves. Like I said, I 'adopted' the plant because it was growing and I didn't want to see it die.
