I have to say I have only had this new CV for about 2 months now and the blooms have been just gorgeous.  Also they bloom in a variety of different looks.  The bush is pretty too with lush and very dark green foliage.

I figured with the darker pigments this plant would need some shading so that the blooms could fade gracefully.  I planted it under my plumeria tree which is kind of a hot spot but so far so good. 

Unlike a lot of my other hibiscus this plant never seemed to go through any adjustment phase, it still looks nice and full and is growing new leaves as well as buds.

Enjoy the shots and hopefully more to come...

I'm really glad to hear that Midsummer Night adjusted to being planted in your yard without any signs of shock. I was a little concerned because in the greenhouse without any wind to shake and stiffen the branches the plants grew very lush but too soft for my taste. I'm pretty sure they will harden up as they adjust to real world conditions but am glad to know they don't go into a sulk while doing so.

Updated pics for this CV.  It has turned out to be quite a treasure.  The blooms offer a lot of different looks and are easily affected by temps which I like a lot.  Never know what each one will open up and look like....

Oh wow...I never intended to have more than 4 or 5 plants, but ever since joining this forum that is totally out the window! It's just too easy to fall in love with a bloom! I'm gonna be keeping my eye on this one after seeing these pictures... Smiley

Denise that is how I've gotten up to over 90 plants with 7 more on the way from the store reopening and I ran out of space a long time ago. I figured I'd max out at about 25 plants. Cheez
