Cherry Ice is a nice red and white double. Bessie is a red color unlike any other I have seen with a bright metallic quality to it. Also Georgia's Pearl and Louise Bennett.

Erny great bush shots! They are looking great with no yellow leaves to speak of and pretty lush which is awesome for late fall. Daisy Mae is just a wonderful bush - lots of vigor and really floriferous! I love that white border around that darker red eye. Wait till you see how big the blooms get in summer - your whole street will see them no matter where you look from.
John I love the High Voltage - this time of year it gets such nice bleeds of color.

Out of over 100+ hibiscus every single one is still growing strong. Looking forward to the winter solstice being over and start to get back the day light instead of losing it. Oh yeah - that's if the world doesn't end first  Farmer D |

Darren, beautiful pictures there. Special wows for Raging Bull, Vin Beaujolais, Sea of Tranquility, and Tahitian Antique Purple. I am also seeing continual healthy green growth on practically all my plants in the ground. It is interesting to see how many of the offspring of The Path, Rainbow Sherbert, and Georgia's Pearl revert back to blooms that show a pattern closer to that of the parents in the cooler weather. Slapstick is a good example as was Palm Springs that I posted a couple of days ago. Those that have Saffron in their genes also seem to revert back toward that pattern as well.
Slapstick--looking more like Rainbow Sherbert parent.

Deb, what beautiful colors you are getting. All look great. Your first bloom on Compassion is really nice and Space Oddity is a knockout. Love the color on your Thanksgiving as well. Mine was almost pure red outdoors here last weekend.

Burnt Saffron--probably the largest one of these I've had at 9"

Deb your blooms are all so beautiful! Just incredible form and presentation - you take such good care of your hibs. Easter Glow & Maui Masterpiece really stood out for me.
Erny your blooms are looking just great. I noticed your AG definitely has more color than mine so a good comparison for me to figure out how I can get it maxed more. I just measured mine it is now 7'8" - and getting some beautiful branching down low with lush foliage. I think in another year or so this thing is just going to be a gigantic beautiful bush of massive size. It is already crowding out Saffron and High Voltage on it's sides.
Happy to see All That Jazz blooming again since I moved it back in April. It came close to biting it a few times but I think she is in the clear now.
