Everyone, so beautiful. I have been busy moving everything inside in preparation for Irene... Unlike Lou, we are right on the beach, right in her path. Most in my area will be evacuated. You should see my house though! Like a jungle! The minute I got Blue Ballerina inside, she popped out 3 blooms. I love her! Darren, I have to say, that very first photo you have of the re flexed AG is beautiful. You using a wide angle lens? Jordan?? Is that you? Great bloom! Patrick, Time for magic is awesome! Lynette, beautiful display!! Well, I'm sick with some sort of flu, on the couch watching movies until the power goes out. Wish us luck for tomorrow. Lou, we are in this together. See you when its all over! Stay safe!  |

I live on the Gulf coast and we have the same Hurricane dangers. Last Hurricane (IKE) flooded us in storm surge. We lost about half our hibiscus that we thought would be safe in the garage. Stay safe and dont take any chances. |

Hang in there Kristen & Louis...been watching the weather channel all afternoon to see how this all plays out. Hoping for the best for you to make it safe and undamaged. Quite the spread of dangers with this hurricane.

It's already Monday - how'd that happen? Time for some blooms, we finally had our first really hot weather of the summer so the color is not popping like before...except Acapulco Gold which is just a wonderful plant! Record 10 blooms at once today and is now 5 ft tall. Also couple of first timers yesterday: Best of Times  Tahitian Lavender Rainbow - pretty but no rainbow yet  Enjoy...Farmer D |

John I've got nothing to say but wonderful things about Prosperity. Great bush, good growth habit, lots of buds and a beautiful bloom. I bought a 6" that I received in May and it was quite big already. It has just taken off from there.
Today's blooms...

Thanks for the photos everyone! Below are a few of mine.
Has anyone heard from Lou or Kristen since the hurricane?
Charlie
Photos:
Scintillating - very heavy textured 7 inch flower
Brassy Blonde - this one has a definite allure when seen in person
Red Flair - beautiful bright double from Love Story
Serendipity - soft colors, huge flower up to 10 inches
Ghost - pretty all white flower
Electric Orange - bright as usual but blooming with yellow spots in this weather

Very, very pretty blooms Charlie and Darren!
I emailed Kristen the day it was supposed to hit there. Haven't heard anything yet. I'm hoping their power is still out. :/

Hey everyone,
Kristen txt'd me this morning and she is ok, just no electricity till probably Sept 7th. I guess her town was hit pretty bad, by Irene.
