Girl Next Door is Saffron x Cindy's Heart, a very classic cross of excellent cvs. Lady Macbeth is Tahitian Lavender Marvel x Wild Grape. I'm experimenting with crossing some of the HVH varieties with Tahitian varieties, looking for new flower colors and hopefully without messing up the good bush qualities that most of the HVH varieties have. We should see the results of these crosses over the next couple of years.

BTW, Darren is working on registering our newest varieties on the IHS database so feel free to contact him about cross info as well.  ;)

Hi Jen,

I should have all the new HVH varieties registered by end of June.  Feel free to contact me on Facebook or on the Southern California Hibiscus Society FB page for any parentage info requests between now and then.
