Erny that's something I never really considered [high humidity], I of course did try many areas of the house and garden for less sun but there is little I can do about the humidity, I cant really complain as I think the majority of my cv's benefit from the humidity, just did not seem to suit EO. At least I did get to see a couple of blooms and they where pretty special.
A nice P's Purple and one of my own today.

Darren, same camera just better blooms. The colors are more intense when I can shade the plant with my body between the sun and the flower.

My Sparkling Water plant has been stagnant for several months. It never looked sick--just no new growth and no flowers. I thought its location might be a problem as a couple of adjacent plants also showed extremely slow growth and virtually no blooms. All my hibiscus are on a drip system but the plumeria planted among them are not. The plumeria get no water during the winter but I start using the hose on them when they start leafing out in the spring. While thinking about where to move my underperforming plants I started to give them some extra water via the hose while watering the plumeria. Boy, did I feel stupid. Within two days of giving SW more water new growth started shooting out from every branch and today, after less than a week, the first bloom in several months. I guess if plants could talk I might get a sarcastic "Thanks a lot for finally figuring it out."

Erny, thanks for sharing that funny story about watering more. Not an uncommon problem which is why we continue to talk about giving plenty of water. I've always done this in the greenhouse but I learned the hard way about our home garden due to a lucky leak. That summer the plant that was getting triple water due to the leak outgrew everything else by a bunch and the light went on for me similar to what you experienced.
I love those Creme de la Creme photos - showing its fancier and bigger side!

Red Flair is showing some white spots as the temperatures gets hotter.
A fairly new one named Uninhibited is blooming well in the gh now. 6" flower but pretty colors.
