The hot Texas sun can burn up most blooms but these two look perfect all day long.

Fairy Music bloomed today while I was at work. I would have love to have seen its colors when it first opened. But I must say, it is such a beautiful flower! The colors are so soft and delicate. I brought it inside tonight so I could take this picture. This is the best photo that I took, and it really doesn't do it justice. (My lighting situation was working against me.) I'll try to take another in the morning in better light. Enjoy!

I had plumeria long before I started with hibiscus. In fact, I first saw "fancy" hibiscus when they were included in a catalog of plumeria. Almost all of my old cvs came from that source 15-20 years ago. By sheer chance I found that the plumeria and hibiscus mixed well in the garden. The plumeria leaf out in the spring and provide some protection from the hot summer sun. They drop their leaves just before winter and thus allow the hibiscus to receive full sun all winter long. Here is Heartbreak Hotel blooming in the shade of Plumeria Siam Ruby. Others from today include Vin Beaujolais, Silver Dragon, Rainbow Christie, Living Legend, and Fifth Dimension.

Bloom for the day, Tigerama. Pollinated it with Creme de Cacao.
Thanks, Patrick

Got up early before work so I could take more photos with better lighting of Fairy Music. I love it!

Patrick, thanks for showing Tigerama. I don't recall seeing it on the forum before.
I got my long awaited first bloom on Fly Me to the Moon today (thanks, Chris). Also Pocahontas, Silver Memories, Eye of Kali, and Living legend profusion.

Tigerama is looking pretty amazing Patrick!
Paul your Night Fire is fierce!
Erny nice to see Pocahontas and your Victoria's Touch is looking splendid! I had quads on my Living Legend today so we're both looking good on that one...

All it takes is one worm to ruin a nice bloom - actually I have had a bunch of these buggers in many of my blooms that past couple weeks...

Amazing blooms everyone! Erny- Loving your Victoria's Touch, Sea of Tranquility, and Fly Me To The Moon! Patrick - That Tigerama is outstanding! Farmer D - Living Legend is amazing! So vibrant! And your Tahitian Antique Purple is so beautiful! I'm excited to get the one I won on Ebay today. Gotta get that baby blooming! And White Hot.....yikes! Looks like it was a victim of a drive by shooting. Hope you get those worms under control soon. Lots of great blooms for me today! 1) Flirtatious is just pumping out the blooms this season. Beautiful as always! 2) My first bloom on Fire and Ice! Such an amazing bloom! 3) Midsummer Night bloomed again today. Quickly becoming a favorite! 4) Pinto Noir bloomed again today after being inside for a few days, and getting some extra booster. Starting to look more Pinot-like. Its cool to see the progression. 5) I had to share this one even though its not a hibiscus. My Lifesaver plant bloomed today. Such a cool bloom!  Enjoy! |
