Wow Capt J those Rainbow Sherbet twins are incredible with those wide bands of orange. They really put my first bloom this season to shame but I have something to shoot for for sure!
Erny your blooms are looking very nice. I noticed that on your Riptide bloom it has pinkish veining. This is unexpected and extremely stunning! That makes that bloom a standout - so my guess is it needs heat and sun but at the same time that is what will fade the bloom...I'll have to be creative with where to put mine.
John your Wild Grape bloom is so nice I just ordered one. Just gorgeous and I know you've said the plant is great too. Also love your Cindy's Heart as always.
Mike your blooms are off the charts!!! Quads on V Extraordinaire - that is amazing! And your Heavy Metal is perfection in my book. Hey is that Flickering Flame from the cutting I sent you a few years back?

Finally my first bloom on my Prosperity plant since replanting it last June. Boy did it survive one heck of a fight with dry rot!
Second bloom for my seedling - I'm very satisfied for sure...
Also a couple more pics off of Facebook that I thought were very nice HVH blooms. I apologize the Slapstick pic is so small but pretty awesome with that pinkish eye. I'm liking that a lot!

Enjoy!

Got my first bloom of the season from Splash (doing much better in a new location) and first one ever on my newer Surf City plant.

Thanks Farmer D! I just joined the forum this week, but have been admiring everyone's photos for quite some time.
I had submitted an introductory post earlier this week, but don't think it ever went through. My name is Marilyn, I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and got my first HVH hibiscus (Valentine's Day) about 5 years ago. I've been in love with HVH since, but we just moved into a house with a yard this October, so now we're ordering like crazy. We've planted a mainly HVH hibiscus hedge in the back, and so far all the plants are doing really well.
Here are some of my favorites:
My first HVH - Valentine's Day
Our first Pinot Noir flower was flawless.
Our 2 gallon Song Sung Blue came with flowers and has been blooming like crazy since.
Our Winter Lights struggled a bit at first, but has been doing better.
And I got some nice shots of our first Hollywood Starlet Hibiscus bloom. I love the different looks this flower has on Day 1 and Day 2.
We have several more HVH's that haven't bloomed yet, but I will be sure to share those when they come!
Enjoy!

Marilyn, welcome to the forum. Hollywood Starlet is one of my favorites and your photos captured the changes in the colors beautifully. You will also be pleased with the bush; it is one of my best growers in the ground here in southern California.
Although first blooms aren't always the best, it is still exciting when a new plant puts out its first flower. Since I got a large order in June, I am still seeing first blooms on quite a number of them. First blooms today on Midsummer Night, Torch Song, and Tahitian Pretty Boy.
