Great photos all!  It has been cooler here lately, so the bright colors are really starting to come out on cvs like Space Oddity.

Here's Summer Shore today with 7 open blooms.  Smiley

Thanks all!  And Charlie, of course Cindy can use the photo.

Ugh, I suppose I should've pulled the weed and moved the cable out of the way before taking the picture, though.

Jordan, don't worry about the photo. Cindy fixes small problems like this when she wants to use a photo bad enough.

A drizzly, overcast day here in the valley, but it's a nice relief from our former temperatures.

Here are Acapulco Gold, Island Girl, Magnifique, Summer Shore showing her cooler weather colors, and my first ever Haute Couture!  Also, a bush photo of AG.  Acapulco Gold is really getting big...

AG's bush.  Please excuse the mess.  Not much time to clean up the patio lately.

 Grin
Well, I submitted a reply in the forum topic "Indoor growing in Colorado".  However, one of my pics was too big so I thought I had to do it again.  I resized the pic and resubmitted and then the system said I had already submitted it.  So, I may have sent it twice.   Roll Eyes Embarrassed  My apologies!

Anyway, I'm submitting my pics again, this time being acceptable to the system.  So, hopefully, everyone can see them.  I don't know what kind of hibiscus I have so if someone would like to enlighten me, I would appreciate it. 

This plant was given to my Mom-in-law by a friend of hers and she didn't tell us what kind of hibiscus it is.  Thanks!

Simple Pleasures and High Voltage gave me some pretty blooms today. You can tell by High Voltage that the weather has been a little cooler by all the pink in it!

Hi Vickie. Welcome to the forum. Thanks for persisting with loading your photos.

These flowers look like the hibiscus named Brilliant. It has been the most popular red flowered hibiscus around the world for decades. It can be seen growing in gardens all over the tropics as well as in Florida, TX and the Gulf Coast, and coastal CA.

I don't often get blooms to last more than one day due to the heat. But I had a second day Cindy's Heart today.
And a pic of my CH bush.
