Scintillating transformed some on day 2 to a light orange bloom with some gold bleed. Exciting to get the first hints of what might be coming this summer...the eye is interesting as it has two distinct shades of pink. Very unique!

One of my own and a Sizzle, Darren you mentioned the other day that Sizzles a fast grower, mine has just had its second prune and I have only had it 6 months.

Nice to see some bloom pics from several of you today! David I am glad to hear that Sizzle is also a vigorous grower for you. I like your other bloom as well, is that one of your seedlings?

Thanks to David, Rebecca, John, and Darren for sharing those beautiful photos.
David, not only is Sizzle a fast grower but the bush is really full and thick.
I just got back from Hawaii and was pleased to see a lot more blooms than when I left. Herm Geller, Flickering Flame, Acapulco Gold, Daisy Mae, and Angel's Wings.

Slapstick was the only plant that showed significant winter damage. I cut off the top 6" of both stems and, as the photos show, there are new leaves covering the entire length of the stems. Chariots of Fire is showing why it is known as a prolific bloomer. Also Palm Springs and I have to show Leucospermum Veldfire (a member of the Protea family) as I have waited over five years for this plant to bloom.

Erny that is very interesting to see your Slapstick like that, mine is almost an identical twin to yours but for different reasons I think. Mine was in a pot on my porch since last spring that was either in total shade or blazing afternoon sun - either way it hated it and did nothing but slowly lose all it's leaves. I decide to move it to my sidewalk planter where it will have room to root like crazy and above shading from my Celadine Plumeria. People need to stop in their tracks when walking by when they see that killer super color saturated bloom I envision it will one day produce...
My two most effected by that cold snap back in mid January was Meteor Shower and T Lavender Rainbow which is now in the back yard clinging to life.

A cloudy morning so great opportunity to take some nice bush shots. This time I typed the names of all the plants on the photos. I hope the font is large enough to read.
I would say that my plants are about 2 weeks removed from being at their worst for the year. I have removed tons of yellow leaves so the plants do look a bit skimpy compared to how lush they were just a few months back.
