December Blooms of the Day

[Darkhorse]

Thanks, Charlie!  I agree... I really enjoy the softer colors of Sunkissed Blonde, and of course anything unusual.  On that note, nice photo of CDLC!  I am hoping to snag that one in the coming year.

Hello All, Which ever way you celebrate the holidays. I wish you the best.

Here are a couple blooming today during a raging snow storm and temps around 15 deg F.

First is Sleeping Beauty, second day, the white in the background is the snow storm.

The other two are of Voodoo Magic, first bloom on a new plant that i purchased from HV a couple of months ago. the color is slightly off on Magic due the lighting.

Hi Louis and John,

It's so great to see your flower photos in the midst of the snowy winter! You guys are proving what Cindy and I always are saying - if there is some natural light present and you keep them warm enough they can flourish indoors.

Bart has also proven that you can get flowers in winter, even in a room that totally lacks natural light. He is now getting flowers inside a room he built inside his garage that has no windows. To do this he installed a 1000 watt HID light that gives off enough light in the right spectrums for the hibiscus to flower. Very cool!
