Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Work of Art'

 Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Work of Art'
Probably more like work-in-progress at this time of year for this Hibiscus will change colour as the season progresses and will develop large yellow patches on the petals . At the moment they appear as just streaks. Tomato ketchup red with a bit of mustard could be used to describe the colour? This is an Australian Hibiscus bred by Greg and Julie Lindsay from two Florida varieties namely 'All Aglow' as pod parent and 'Evelyn Howard' as pollen parent. It was registered in 2001. At this stage I don't have information on how big it grows. This specimen is grafted.
