With a bit of care, you can collect thousands of hibiscus pictures from the Internet.  The various societies and nurseries list many and the Yahoo Groups mail lists allow you to interact and share flower images.  In the last five years I've collected thousands and taken thousands more. (See also some candid collections of hibiscus photos from my yard and from Hibiscus Hideaway Nursery)

I list here alphabetic thumbnail and slideshow albums of mostly plants available in Australia. They are plants I grow or have grown and even some I'd like to grow soon.  I have used some pictures submitted by others on the Net until I have a better one of my own.  I also use some to show the variable appearance of a bloom in different conditions.

If there is a plant whose bloom you'd like to see, email me for a picture as I may have one or be able to source one.  If you'd like a higher resolution image of one of mine, I may have that too.  I've restricted final images to 500 pixel width to maximise the number of blooms I can display in the space available.

I also link to the catalogues and albums of nurseries and societies around the world.  I recommend, in particular, the American Hibiscus Society's Lone Star Chapter's comprehensive database.  The societies page has links to excellent information too.

I also provide links to where Hibiscus CD's can be purchased from Societies and Nurseries.

Many individual growers have Net album listing - a few can be seen below.

Of course, Hibiscus syriacus, mutabilis, etc. are to be found by following the links to other Internet sites.

There are several CDs in the market place - all worth purchasing.

• the official International Register distributed by the AuHS - there is also available a Growing Guide with colour pictures of cultivars - the database flower details are available online
• the AmHS hibiscus CD - over 2500 images collected by the Society over the past 50 years plus much more - US blooms, nomenclature and selected Australian varieties
• the International Hibiscus Society CD
• the Hidden Valley Hibiscus Nursery CD
