This Cultivar is so different looking for me.... It has a yellow eye with gold/bronze coloured petals , that looks so different. Does anyone got 11 inch bloom from this one? I like to see the different pictures of this variety.
Mr. Charles Black, can you please show me some photos of this Cultivar other than in the description page...

I'm glad you reminded me about King Midas, as I would like to work with it some more in hybridizing.
I have a photo of King Midas that measured 9 inches that day. 11 inches is very exceptionally large for hibiscus, you only see them this size a few times a year if you're lucky. The conditions have to be just right, with plenty of fertilizer being given to the plant to get this kind of size.
Here's the 9 inch one.
