Ahh, I see that Wild Dream was accidentally left out of the Hibiscus Gallery on the HVH website. The Gallery is the place where most of the varieties we grow can be seen no matter if they are in stock or not. It is not the store but has the same info and multiple photos that the store has for each cv and they are always there for viewing. Cindy will add Wlld Dream to the Gallery as soon as she has a chance.
Wild Dream is very unusual because it is a Rosalind cross that looks nothing like Rosalind. WD is always a single unlike many Rosalind crosses that can bloom single or double. It is also the first variety that I know of that features speckles that were not caused by contamination with herbicide drift.
WD is a slow to medium grower that reaches 3-4 feet in 3 years or so. The flowers are well presented on the bush and always interesting. Below are some photos of it's different looks.
We also have a new variety that is a cross of Wild Dream with Dragon's Breath. This one is yellow with interesting things happening all around the eye. Probably available next year.

Yes, but they are on Cindy's computer and she took it with her this morning. It also has a name but I forget what we ended up with. This summer we will post photos of all the seedlings that have progressed far enough to get a name.
Thanks for asking.

When will you have wild dream in stock ? I think I requested to be on the waiting list for this one.

I'll check on that. I know 1 plant came out of the propagation area this week, and is now in a 4 inch pot. I think maybe there were a few earlier ones that might be getting ready to go soon but am not sure until I check.

I guess this CV is a bit more rare than the others if there are only a few coming out of the propagation line  |

Yes, Wild Dream is very rare. I only have 2 big stock plants of it. I probably should keep more instead of letting them go out but when they are on the Request List we tend to let them go.

So I went on a shopping spree and I should be receiving The last Wild dream that they had in stock this morning lol
YIPPY I will be sure to post pictures of it when it blooms.
Charlie , I know you said that one parent is unknown but do you think that this CV could be rosalind x dragon's breath ?

I ordered it and I just got an e-mail that they just sold out just before my order was processed. You must have taken the last one! Lucky girl, I expect some fine pictures now |

I am pretty sure there are a couple more Wild Dream plants in the pipeline but not ready to ship yet.
Kerry, that is a pretty good guess. I've always used Dragon's Breath and still do for making crosses. Something contributed the swirling white to Wild Dream and it wasn't momma Rosalind.

I have never seen another cv pass down the swirl pattern like dragon's breath or look like Dragon's breath except for its offspring. I was trying to win some rosalind x dragon's breath seeds off ebay but they where getting to high 48 bucks for 5 seeds no thanks, with that moneY I could have bought Rosalind and dragon's breath and make my own seeds You mentioned you crossed WD with Dragon's Breath ! You must post pictures of that seedling ! |

I think your right kerry, it would make sense if the parent of this CV is dragons breath or maybe dancing dragon. I would really like to see this seedling of wild dream and dragons breath
