Finally I want to wish everyone a safe, fun, and happy Labor day! If you are looking for a way to celebrate, might I suggest "Absolut Hibiskus" vodka? Ha ha! Its delicious!

JC welcome to the forum! We are very happy to add you to our growing group of members and really look forward to seeing lots of great hibiscus pictures from you. Your Grand Opening bloom is probably the nicest one I have seen of that CV!
Paul your blooms are rocking and you should think of an alternative career as an advertising specialist. That would be the perfect advertisement for that vodka. I have noticed lately that many products are now featuring hibiscus. It is almost trendy at this point...
Today some more great blooms...I am still being blown away by Scintillating as it had twins today and that firey golden border is just driving me crazy! It looks like the sun dripped sunlight onto the edges. Just extraordinary!!! I am having a bit of a challenge getting the pink eye zone to show in the photos.

Palm Springs has six blooms currently with many buds now...
Cosmic Gold has 11 blooms today - though hard to tell in the pic

Yep, more blooms...
Got my first profusion of blooms for the season today on Black Dream = 24 open blooms.
Firestorm gets better as the day goes on. Starts almost all red then the orange sets in

Great photos abound but Paul, that Absolut Hibiscus vodka photo is incredible! Thanks for bringing that to our attention. Umm, Alexandr, ever seen this one in Ukraine?

JC, welcome to the forum. We will all look forward to seeing more of your blooms.
Paul and Darren, that's some bloomfest you guys have going. Great photos all.
I screwed up and posted today's blooms on the August list--possibly a good thing as the additional volume might have crashed the system.

Erny, I laughed when you were describing how you anatomically pruned your plant, removing the necrotic tissue haha.
Quasar looks amazing, I noticed a small bud on mine today, hopefully we will have some photos to compare of it. BTW do you have Mother Nature? The photos of that one look very nice.

Of course I had to remove a margin of normal tissue along with the necrotic.
I hope you will like your Quasar as much as I like mine.
I don't have Mother Nature. I like the pictures but just haven't pulled the trigger. I don't know where i would put any new ones at this time.

Here's a picture of Moonstruck also I wanted to show a picture of our grandchild Makenna that we named our seedling after. I showed this seedling on here before and it does root, I have 3 cuttings that have rooted.
Thanks, Patrick

Patrick you should send one of those rooted cuttings to Charlie for evaluation and future propagation.
