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.

It's a very nice Hibiscus!


I don't know if breeders were pure I do know the person has created their own new hybrids so I think pollination was isolated. If you say its possible that might be the answer.
