here's the Suntan-seedling - again, this one is a cross between a 'commercial' and a 'fancy' hibiscus. I have to give credit for that cross to my boyfriend who crossed them while I was on a worltrip - so I suppose it's his seedling ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The cross was done at the end of november 2012, the pod harvested (again - only one seed..) on february 2nd 2013 (don't remember though when it germinated) and the first bloom opened on the first of October the same year
so - from cross to bloom in under one year!
at first I was a bit dissapointed that it was rather plain yellow, but I like it more and more. at the moment its my only frequent bloomer.
here's the first blooms from last summer:
