Today I found a specific Hibiscus I've been looking for for years. I first saw it at the home of Chick Fil-A founder, Truett Cathy, while on a tour of his automobile collection in Georgia with the Cadillac & LaSalle Club. I remember seeing this variety, taking a photo, and thinking "I want that one." About a year later, I did see it in a nursery in Alameda, and found out it was called "Painted Lady" but it was like $35 or $40 for a five-gallon plant, so I reluctantly walked away.
Today I went to Home Depot looking for a hummingbird-friendly plant, and while there wasn't a great selection of red tubular flowering plants at his point in the season, I did find this Painted Lady Hibiscus, at a fantastic price, a five gallon pot was $13.95.
