Hi everybody! It's John Piper, back with you to begin again.  We have moved to FL, and starting allover again to build a Hibiscus garden.  In Texas, we were only moderately successful due to heat and being a "Newbie".  Here we are in in lush tropical climate, and doing much better.

First posting  of the flower I could never grow in Texas! Magic Moments.
Glad to be back
John

Welcome back John. Where in Florida did you move to?

Darren, your Acapulco Gold is insane. How tall is it now. Looks to be at least 10 feet tall.

A few more from today and AG taken later in the day.

Darren, that AG is outrageous. I got my second bloom on Sea of Tranquility today and it looks better than the first. It is still avery small plant at about 5" tall. Also Velvet Illusion, Love Story, African Princess, Daisy Mae, and Pepper Spray.

Very enjoyable blooms from all three of you!  Keep them coming...

John P great to see your back and ready to go!  We can't wait to hear and see all your new additions to your growing garden in FL. 

John & Erny - My AG is around 7.5 ft last time I measured it in Jan?  It is still sparsely foliated on the upper half (above the wall) but it likes to produce buds instead of leaves so no complaints here...

Rodeo Drive just keeps putting out the blooms and the two today are 9" with amazing depth of color and it isn't even May yet! 

Ingenue is so well foliated the blooms don't have room to fully open.
