All right Chris and folks!!!

Here is one that I think will be a challenge (it better be this time!!!).  My yard must be haunted all right with the ghosts of spider mites past...see if you can figure out this bloom before it doesn't last...

Ghosts of Spider mites past seems more like Christmas than Halloween Smiley

Well I notice that there is a white wall in the background, and stigma pads are yellow.  It also looks like it is one of your smaller bushes, and given that it is in the pink category, I will have to say it is Cindy's Heart my good Watson.  Cheesy

I was thinking living legend originally, but I thought you didn't have it.  If it's not living legend then I am at a loss.

Agreed, Living Legend.  The shape does it for me...

If it's not Living Legend, well, it sure does look like LL.

Yep, I'm impressed - your hibiscus knowledge is second to none Chris.  This is Living Legend all right.  Definitely a look I wouldn't have expected but with the effects of the spider mites still lingering it ended up with such a soft, delicate look.  I enjoyed it a lot but want this plant to get back to itself ASAP.

By the way LL is a good grower too, I see why it is used a lot for hybridizing.

Day 3 of the same bloom...
