Wow John I never heard of squirrels doing that - it is extra frustrating when there is no point in doing such damaging things. I have a raccoon update: The City of Los Angeles has ONE animal control officer, you read it right - one. I have some of my neighbors calling as well but I don't have much confidence I will see anyone out here any time soon...
Oh well, I'm enjoying the slow increase in blooms and working out my theories as to why things here are so slow coming. First Big Oafs of the season...

A stunning True Love (but I find all it's blooms stunning) and Haute Couture is just something else in the hot sun and heat...

This is my recently acquired Burnt Saffron from June ( didn't get a good photo of the flower from the other day) - Beautiful flowers, and already looking like it has a couple seed pods going, no idea what the crosses are though...mostly doing random crosses this year...

John all your blooms are looking great - I especially am liking Hot Southern Nights. It is getting better and better.

Darren, your Cosmic Gold always seems to have a nice glow. Really nice.
Second pic is the garden variety President that I have had in the ground for 3 years.

John when I first got CG as a little 4" twig a few years back I wasn't too excited about it. Now I see it has wonderful variation of colors, excellent form and a vigorous/floriferous bush. Today it has quads for the first time...

Erny welcome back!!! I hope it was a good vacation for the both of you. I also hope that you came back to lots of happy hibiscus too. I'm sure you're super busy getting them back to happyville. Your High Voltage and Bon Temps are especially pretty!

Thanks Darren. It's good to be back. I came home to lots of blooms. I recharged the fertilizer injectors in all my drip lines about a week before I left so that may be responsible for part of it.
