Darren, I was surprised also how dark Black Dream was. I'm not sure if the heat had anything to do with it since this was the first bloom I have had since spring. There are more buds and if they don't fall off due to heat stress, then I'll have a better idea if the heat is indeed causing the darker color.

Great picture of the bird Darren, it looks majestic, Kim Anh says it looks mean and if it comes looking at our flowers she's not going out to water,haha I give up sometimes.

David she might have a point as last week I had a nest of baby Mockingbird's in our grapefruit tree and this past Thursday sunset the mother bird was going crazy and since then no more babies...I believe the falcon ate well that night.
A few more blooms from today...
Bonnie Lass is in full display - a really big and fun flower
Tahitian Bronze Radiance getting better by the bloom, earlier it was streaking black throughout the bloom
Sucks to wake up to one of the main branches of Black Dream on the ground...what are these nocturnal critters doing when I'm sleeping???

Farmer D Thanks Darren  Your always beautiful 'biscus photos have had quite an effect on my buying habits; I see four of my most recent hibiscus purchases among your postings for today (and there are quite a few others from previous posts as well) |

Wow, I was wondering why the forum was so quiet, then I remembered, huh, its August! What on earth have I been up to?! Well I have a ton of new blooms to show, I just have to get around to getting them on the computer. Soon...
That Green Earth is way better then I thought it would be. I have wanted a green one. It is the only color I dont have... I think.
And That Sea of Tranquility is rockin!
All my plants are getting major sun burn! UGH! I hate New England sometimes!

These blooms are so pretty it would be hard for almost anyone to resist. I would think I would grow tired of seeing them each day but are you kidding me...
Some days I wake up earlier than I planned just see what might be waiting outside...
Today's blooms...
