Deb, your mystery flower is very pretty! It actually reminds me a lot of Zoe. I'll have to take a picture of mine when it blooms again. All of my Zoe flowers have been tiny, though. 2.5" - 3." I don't think you would have gotten a Zoe from Charlie, though. How cool if it were a sport! Thanks Jordan... I'm looking forward to that "Zoe" picture! What beautiful blooms you have... Ruby Tuesday is looking VERY hot!!! John - LOVE your Scarlet Dragon!!! Deb  |

Thanks Jordan for the NF compliment. Your blooms and John's are very nice as always.
Louis great to hear from you as well and nice blooms too. Good to see some older ones we don't get to see too often.
Today another first time bloom and I'm liking it a lot - Tahitian Royal Court. I guess it is known for larger sized blooms and for a first one over 9".

Deb, I was really impressed with the color on Scarlet Dragon. It should really have intense color in the fall.
Darren, those Palm Springs blooms are glowing.

John you're right on with Palm Springs. The red really can jump out at you in person. Sometimes they're more pinkish red for me when I tend to let them get too much water. I like your Wild Grape a lot - great purples...
Lots of stuff today...

Charlie I love the larger sized thumbs - I hope it is not too much of a problem for others to download a page as you stated...guess I'm spoiled here.

Darren - Your blooms (and your photos) are just stunning! I see that "Michigan weather" agrees with your gorgeous Hollywood Hibs!  We finally got some rain today... A lot of it actually... OK, more like a series of monsoons. I was so afraid for the outdoor hibiscus... But they all came through, without even a broken branch, dropped bud, or damaged bloom! They looked very happy in fact: green, shiny, clean and perky. It seems we've traded in our "SoCal Summer" weather for "Hawaiian Tropic" (it's 80ºF with 80% humidity indoors with all the windows open at 10:45PM)! No complaints - from human or hibiscus  Today's bloomers... Bienvenue White Wings (a plus 7" bloom... He's waving in this photo, too!) Some of the outdoor 'biscus Deb |

That looks like a Voodoo Queen to me! A few blooms from me today. Torch song, having grown both podmates (RRG and Torch Song) I have to say the growth habit is more tame with torch song and the blooms have a pink rim which I like alot. Seedling that I grew from seed which I named Riptide, I hope the macro-shots show you why I like this name  Riptide's sibling, no name yet, but the bush is really nice I am not sure if the blooms are unique enough... |

John that Burnt Saffron is really amazing with that gold edge. Chris I really like Riptide a lot - very unique! Mike whatever that is it is really cool looking - can you post another pic when it is fully opened?
Here are a couple of shots from last week before my camera got watered.
Also a crazy super petaloid Flickering Flame, can't even tell which way is up on this one.
And a few more shots of that bouquet of blooms for COF

Beautiful photos everyone! I especially love Voodoo Queen and can't wait until mine gets going.
From me today: Winter Lights, Zoey (for Deb), and Carnelian/Sweet Caramel (not sure who this may be).
