Hi all
Please help me identify this hibiscus, if you can. It has multiple narrow petals and a long stigma with short stamens on the end. I is orange with a pinkish centre.
Thanks!

Your flower looks like it was getting old. Hibiscus typically bloom for about a day. It is hard since hibiscus is very easy to hybridize and there are so many cultivars. Your flower center looks like it has a hint of pink so I am taking a guess here. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Tropical Orange'

Yeah it was getting old and the fact that I brought it home on a 4 hour car ride did not help.
It definitely has pink in the middle and orange on the outside. That picture is very close. I think mine has stronger, deeper colours and more pink. But can that be from the environment, nutrients etc?
I forgot I took a photo when I picked it for my friend who I am rooting these for:
In the mean time based on your suggestion I found this in the Google search:
I don't know who close 'Double Orange' and 'Tropical Orange' are but this works for me.
