Thanks Val, I will be thinking of you too. There was a festival here last night....Agios Stefanos was packed with people and cars... I didn't go to this one, not really my kind thing. I had more fun watching all the commotion.

Thanks Lulu and Paul....these are so easy to propagate from cuttings. I have an orange one as well but forgot to take a picture of the first flower.

Alexandramou:

This variety is called: 'White Wings' It's not one of the really large flowering varieties...however, it is a very tall growing Hibiscus which can grow to more than 25ft/7.6m tall (here anyway).

Delonix,
White Wings it is then.
I stuck two twigs in the ground next to each other last October and they are both little plants now. I might separate them in the fall.

Thanks Meanie, I did a double take when I first saw the size of the flower. I can just imagine what the gigantic ones Delonix is on about look like!!!
