Thanks, Jay! Thumbs up
I saw Hibiscus mutabilis in it, too, but it doesn't look quite right for any cultivar/selection that I could find.
Also, I didn't think straight Hibiscus mutabilis would be hardy in Indiana.

Someone on Gardenweb claimed that, "I DID once have a Snyder hybrid of mutabilis and moscheutos."

An H. mutabilis x H. moscheutos hybrid seems like a possibility.

In another thread (and this thread), Jayce said the flowers always remain partially closed which would rule out 'Hapa Red', I think.

FYI, the "green base" is called a calyx. The plural term is calyces. Green Grin!

Also, there is a Pet thread if your conure would like some new friends.
