HVH: "'Wild Orchid' blooms with a purple, red, and white 6-8" single flower with an almost black eye. This hibiscus flower has the delicate, mottled look of a wild orchid. It is the child of two classic exotic hibiscus, 'Born to be Wild' and 'Moonstruck.' The mini mother gives 'Wild Orchid' it's mottled colors, and the giant father gives it the larger flower. The bush is upright and medium-sized. 'Released from HVH in 2011."
