Beautiful "Persika", My Hibiscus Hybrid

After a four year wait my "Persika" finally flowered for the first time and what a time that was! I consider it well worth waiting for. What do you think?

The unique thing with "Persika" is that she is completely iridescent. She glows in the
sunlight with a metallic sheen. I have never seen the like.

"Persika" grows on a very strong, upright bush that branches willingly. The flowers are held up
until the last moment when they tip over to the side due to the weight of them. Not a bad trait
as it otherwise would be very hard to see them properly due to the height of the bush, over 6'.

The buds on "Persika" are big!
