Wonderful pics, Patrick. Question - how big is your Cashmere Yellow?

Most likely Denim Revolution will only be a custom graft variety. I am hoping 2 newer ones - Moonstruck x Denim R and CCacao x Tahitian XYZ will take its place in the regular offerings. Both appear larger and at least as blue but some side by side comparisons of the real flowers need to take place to confirm this impression.

Charlie, Denim Revolution has been on the top of my wish list since I first saw it. How does this custom graft thing work? The other two sound promising, keeping my fingers crossed  |

Same, I put sent that wishlist in the first time I saw it in the newsletter.
I am hoping that some equally nice flowers that are easier to propagate come along with this next group of seedlings:)

Everyone was close on the ids. The center bloom is Eletric Orange. On the left side is Creme de le Creme. Top left is Moon gooddess almost a ten inch bloom today. Top right is Magicians Hat. The dark blue mini will never have a name as it was sent by mistake without a tag and the grower cannot id it for me. The cv below it with the spots has a tag but it was faded long ago. Great blooms today!
Jon what CVs do you have in that great arrangement?

Thanks! Makes me wonder how tall Space Oddity will get in the long run! In a few years I might have a bunch of hibiscus trees. lol

The heat really takes a toll on these. Both of these were only about 5-6 inches. And the heat really affects the colors also. I took these pics late afternoon. It only reached 94 but the heat index was 106 all afternoon. And it only gets down to 82 at night. Confection Perfection  Cind'y Heart  |

Charlie, I wasn't sure if you are refering to the flower size or bush size of Cashmere Yellow so I took a picture of both.

Hi, Doll,
Beautiful forms of both blooms.
How long does Cindy's Heart last in your heat?

Nina, Cindy's Heart only last one day in this heat. But I expect when cooler weather finally arrives it will last longer.

Doll, I don't think I've seen Confection Perfection with those colors, even in our greenhouse which does get quite hot at times. I'm glad to see it blooms in the heat. I have seen some other photos of Cindy's Heart with more white than pink although once again here in our conditions it remains more pink than white. Cindy's Heart also lasts for several days in our outdoor garden, where it gets direct sun from dawn til dusk. It must be the heat rather than the direct sun that shortens the time it stays open. Even with full sun our temps are rarely over 90F.

Thanks for the photos of Cashmere Yellow, Patrick. I've seen the bloom sometimes larger at around 9 inches this summer, and wondered if the warmer nights we are starting to get are the cause. Most flowers I've seen are about the same as what you show.
