    HVH: "'A Star is Born' blooms with a large 7-9" single hibiscus flower in rings of bright yellow and orange, with a bright white eye haloed in soft pink, giving the effect of an expanding star. 'A Star is Born' is the child of 'Saffron' and 'Rainbow Sherbet.' The bush is medium sized and upright. Released from HVH in 2011."
