Gorgeous blooms everyone! Darren and Erny, I see you're taking a lot of amazing photos as always.  I'm still far too busy to post as much as I'd like, but checking on everyone's great photos certainly keeps me going. I got the rare chance to get out and take some shots today, so I thought I'd share. My Blue Heaven, Carnelian, Silver Memories, Heavy Metal, and Sleeping Beauty were showing off today. I hope everyone is well. Have a safe and happy 4th!

Excellent photos, Darkhorse!
Erny, I assume that Polar Bear is the opening color this morning? If you get a chance, check it later this afternoon and let us know what it does. I never saw it with that much pink but it is brand new, with only the original seedling bush having flowers for us so far.

Terrific set of photos from Jordan, John, and Patrick. Patrick, I think that Cheerful Heart is the most ruffled hibiscus I've seen. Jordan that Heavy Metal is off the charts. Charlie, Polar Bear faded fast and had only a faint trace of pink by noon. I'm loving my first bloom on Space Oddity today. Also Aphrodite, Tahitian Taui, Silver Dragon, Sea of Tranquility, and Rocket's Red Glare.

Looking great everyone! Now this is quite the spread of blooms to enjoy...
Got my first bloom from Island Queen and it does not disappoint!

John thank you for showing more of Chorus Line, it is looking a little better! Love the VQ profusion - awesome!
Well I don't have too many blooms at present but the few I am getting are the best I've had yet - getting that deep coloration I've been aiming for...
HSN is just scorching pretty - opens more solid colored and then just gets more amazing as each hour passes...

John, I always enjoy seeing your Voodoo Queen. Darren, quality over quantity is a good principle. Got my first bloom on Vin Extraordinaire today. Also Aphrodite, Electric Orange, Pocahontas, Miss Congeniality, and Rainbow Christie.

Erny that is great to see V Extraordinaire - pretty! Also I just love Aphrodite and CP with those bright summery colors. I can't wait for mine to bloom...
John your Bright Hope bloom is off the charts with that deep colored eye and bands of color. I have one coming and wasn't sure if I should have but now after seeing your's I can't wait! I guess you could say I now have "Bright Hope" for BH...
Again not much in the way of blooms but WOW Rodeo Drive is perfect and twins on TAP...
