Thank you Sissy! I couldn't think of what it was but had it on the tip of my tounge. LOL I'm trying to find a few new colored ones to add. That one is about 6 years old and I have another that is two and one that I just started this spring from a broken off shoot from the oldest plant this year. They seem to do really good here and I care for them the exact same as I do all the Hibiscus.
