Variations are normal with Tropical Hibiscus - especially pattern wise.

A really good example is 'Love Story'. It can be single or double and even the kind of doubling can change.

Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Love Story')

Another one is Sun Showers and Cherry Appaloosa .. the patterning and color distribution can change as well.

Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Sun Showers')

Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Cherry Appaloosa')

Temperature can have a drastic affect on color saturation as well. The first picture is Cherry Appaloosa blooming in the greenhouse in January and the 2nd picture is Sun Showers in the green house in the beginning of April. They look totally different from Summer blooms.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
