David, your Dragons Breath is a blooming machine.
It ended up getting down to 35 last night.
Two second day Cindy's Heart out in the cold and my Hot Pepper bush inside with a second day bloom.
John 35 !!!, that's colder than my fridge. So here is an open invitation to you and all my friends on the Forum to visit me here in Nha Trang, of course they will be expected to have at least 2 four inch cv's in there suitcase and a care product haha. Not a bad deal and I treat them to a week here http://www.carpedmhotel.com/?mod=home , its right across the street from me, win win all around. I have never had a second day Hot Pepper and yours looks nice, one really good thing about HP is that its easy to grow cuttings from and the really hot sun is never a problem. One advantage of only getting 1 day blooms is you have no worries about cutting them, then placing them somewhere else for better viewing, I do that all the time. Had a bloom from my High Voltage cutting today, the plant is only 4 inches tall so was suprised. |

David, your November 3rd photos still look like your camera was being funny. It shows on the highlights and in the greens. But the photos you have from the 4th look back to normal. What did you do?
Jordan, That CDLC is out of this world. Can't wait for mine to show me some of those!

Darren, that Acapulco Gold is the nicest one yet.
David, my blooms usually only last 1 day, but with this cold weather they are lasting 3 days.

Kristen I did what you said and did that format thingy, like you said it cleared all the pics, they where very very clear for a few but keeps slipping back to the funny ways, so I have just been clearing the format again and now its been fine for a while, well it seems at least to be now staying on the Daylight setting which I think was the problem so thanks. I have a Sony Cybershot 6.0. |

Cindy's Heart and a 3rd day Hot Pepper
John after closely viewing your Hot Pepper pics I am 100% convinced that mine is not Hot Pepper. Everything is different with mine, colors, blooms being really reflexed and the leaves are super different. Maybe Charlie or Cindy would want to name it since it came from HVH. Perhaps a misplace seedling that I've never see elsewhere. Since the colors of mine are so intense and hot looking I was thinking of maybe Sonic Pepper or Sonic Flare. Any other ideas?  Farmer D |

Darren, it was the leaves that really made me think yours was not Hot Pepper. Your leaves look exactly like the leaves on my Cindy's Heart. Maybe Charlie has some idea what yours could be..

So Cal is off to the coldest start to November that I can remember. It is totally winter climate now...totally sucks! I had a feeling it would be this way this year as it seems so easy for any low pressure system to just head down the coast all the way to the Mexican border without any high pressure zones to divert them.
Short growing season it was, now let's see how my more mature plants cope this year...as well as the new ones. I'd take better weather any day over prettier bloom colors. 43F last night, for us that is really cold this time of year.

Darren--it is downright nasty out!  I'm in NorCal...it's cold and rainy and windy! Boo! I have my little 4 inchers inside warm and cozy...wondering if I'll need to bring SP and HV in soon....seems so early!! Here are a few shots of SP and HV from today. The open SP has been open for about 3 days and the almost-open SP and HV have been trying to open for about 3 days! |

The cold weather definitely slows down the bloom opening process. I get too impatient after waiting 4 or 5 days and the second it shows the signs of trying to finally open it gets a gentle helping hand...tomorrow rain or shine Ay Caramba will be opening. Farmer D |

Darren I think for sure that is Hot Pepper, when I look at it I think Hot Pepper, just not the right colour [sounds a bit daft that], but I look at yours and look at mine and its the same bloom.

Chris, your like an open book! so smart Darren, your photo are looking so great. Love the shots. And David, as always thanks for showing us the whole garden shots. Always a pleasure to see your garden. I have always been a macro photographer at heart so I tend to shoot real tight shots of my hibiscus... I forget to show the whole picture... the whole plant is so nice for everyone to see. And Because your camera seems to right itself after you format the card, I would say that your problem is more then likely your card. Thankfully not your camera. I would buy a new one... because once they start to go, they usually wont recover. |
