What is the name of my hibiscus?

hibiscus by Yvonne Forsling

I go to the grocery store to buy food, nothing else. Then I see this wonderful yellow double hibiscus at the checkout. I can't resist. Then I tell my best friend that lives 30 miles from here about my new hibiscus. "But what does it look like," she asks in desperation while I try to find words. But, if I tell her I have bought a new rose for the garden, then that is a different story. "What kind did you buy," she asks. "A Peace," I say. "Ah!" Would it not be wonderful to be able to have the same exchange about hibiscus? But now you can!
