Surprise 2019

When I went to check the daily new blooms on my hibiscus plants, I discovered this yellow beauty
on this red plant https://pbase.com/britestar/image/169312826

I don't quite understand what is going on. Although ruffled, even the petals seem to be a bit different. Red flowers were also still on the same plant; along with this lone yellow and red one. The red flowers are also larger than the yellow one.

To date, this has been the only yellow bloom to appear. Very odd.

I agree with Von about it being a sport....you could take a cutting and see what you get from it. A bonus for certain. V

It's gorgeous - I love hibiscus flowers and always had them in the garden in S.Africa - but I don't ever remember seeing different coloured ones on the same plant. V

It is exquisite and the mystery of its appearance adds to the beauty of the flower. V

It may be a sport.. You could mark the cane where this one
flowered and see if more follow of the same colouring. v

That does seem odd, but a spectacular flower all the same. Great capture of it, too.
