John - That's quite a gorgeous quartet!  I need to get my Frappuccino more light (she's a tree now, but no blooms since last summer).  If you liked HS yesterday, today should be better...

Triple Heaven Scent (with scent!), triple Rosalind and a Moonstruck (I feel like I'm playing poker - LOL!)... The HS blooms look like they are having a tête-à-tête  Wink

Darren, I didn't realize you had Bridal Path - nice to see it blooming in spring here.

Charlie

I don't blame you for forgetting about BP - after I moved it last winter it has taken a very long time for it to start to get back in a groove so very few blooms over the last 15 months.  Chris was right it really likes the hot weather and not much water for me at least.

John your Frappuccino is really striking - that is an impressive bloom to say the least.  Also your RS is just beautiful - I love the inner colors on that one a lot!

Deb your plants are in really good shape.  I'm enjoying all of your blooms!!

Really pretty Rise and Shine & AG today - kind of typifies where most of my blooms are at.  They are showing half winter / half normal colors currently.  Sounds about right for this time of year for the outdoors...

When you got more blooms than leaves on your branches I'd say that isn't by coincidence.  Spraying with Supernova has done wonders...

David,  I was glad to hear you survived the storm and your plants were OK too! I live in FL and I have been through too many of those.

John, thanks for those four really nice photos. You and Deb have shown Heaven Scent at its absolute finest. Love your Voodoo Queen. It's definitely going on my must have list.
Darren, thanks for sharing Tahitian Lavender Mist. I put it on my wish list the first time I saw you post it a few months ago. Black Dream is certainly one of the outstanding specimen plants to put in the ground. The two I have are starting to look like yours and that pleases me no end. Your Rise and Shine looks like it is growing directly out of your plumeria.
A few from yesterday and today: Two different looks of Herm Geller; Belle du Jour twins still somewhat red rather than pink; Living Legend; Velvet Illusion; and I can't resist showing my favorite Protea.

Darren looking at your Acapolco ''Gold" photo's you can see how it got its name, really stunning.

Erny dont be complaining about your golf, I played yesterday and hooked my ball so far left on one hole I managed to miss the fairway, the beach and landed it in the sea, and that was one of my better shots.

I've missed you all a ton, been real busy with work.  You all are showing some really impressive blooms. 

Mike~ Awesome HM!!!  So glad you shared that one with me!
Darren~ Holy Crap!  I can't wait till all mine are outside and I can spray them and get them back to being happy.  Your plants must love you!
Erny~Great spread!
Deb~Im in love with your Rosilind, I want that one bad, but doesn't it get really big?.....
David~Im so glad you and your hibiscus made it out of that storm unharmed.  That would have been awful!
Jim~ It's a pleasure to meet you, Im Kristen... Active on the forum in spurts... lol. 
John~ Your making me regret giving away Voodoo Queen
Chris~ Beautiful photos of Delta Dawn!  It has been a great bloomer for me so far, but just started loosing leaves and looking sick.  Also, it shows signs of having the same bush as Gabriel for me so far... but I don't know if that is because it is not feeling well.  But even when it was good and in bloom, it was a bit lateral.
Lou~ Beautiful seedling.

I and headed to my parents to photograph a new seedling myself.  Post it later.
