Why is it that we do not see seeds evolving from hibiscus flowers?

because it is much easier to use their stems for budding and grafting than using the seeds. When pollen is applied to the female pads and a pod forms, it is usually a couple of months until the pod ripens and exposes its seeds where as budding and grafting will only take a few weeks.futhermore getting a pod to form on a plant can be very difficult -- 60-80F degrees, high humidity and "willing" parents. After the seeds have germinated and been raised to maturity, 6 to 18 months, they will produce a flower (and bush) with qualities from both the pollen and the pod parent. Budding and grafting will only take 6 to 8 weeks and the procedure is simple.
