Patrick, I agree with Darren on your seedling.
Darren, your seedling is awesome as well. Maybe you can give Charlie some cuttings.

John, it's already been done on three of them about a month ago. I have to get him the newer one (pictured first from this morning) Tahitian Raspberry Star x Tahitian Fleuro Star. It hadn't bloomed yet when Charlie was here...
The next three he has cuttings that have been grafted and should be ready soon to replant last I heard.

Darren, that's great news. I especially like the color on Tahitian Raspberry Star x Tahitian Fleuro Star. Looks like it is really a prolific bloomer.

John my goal is to share these beauties with all of us who appreciate and treasure these wonderful creations. I get so much joy at of growing them...
Tahitian Raspberry Rainbow has been my favorite seedling so far as it has more varying bands of colors and is larger but every day TRS x TFS has been gaining in both size and color which is great.
I also realized many of my seedling plants including T Raspberry Rainbow were way under watered and were suffering so that has been fixed and they are on the mend. With that and increased feedings I hope she also is a prolific bloomer. Honestly I'm getting to a point that I believe most hibiscus can be prolific bloomers...We'll see!

AG hitting the 8 ft mark and really looking full. I know some of you wanted me to prune it but it has filled out nicely on it's own. My advice to anyone that has AG is to feed it heavily. It wants to be gigantic but needs a lot of juice and water to do so...I have been heavily feeding my potted one at my in-laws and it is loving it!

Palm Springs is starting to go off now, six blooms today but it is over 7 ft tall now and the blooms are at the top. Didn't anticipate this challenge...

Patrick, you have two beauties there--your granddaughter and the seedling you named after her.
First bloom on Coy Beauty today. Very pretty with the yellow-gold rays against a brown background. Nice blooms again on White Hot and Glitz & Glitter.

John your RS is always looking so great! I really hope mine could one day attain the same awesomeness!!!
Merkitty that is a fine Burnt Saffron bloom! Thank you for sharing that beauty!
Here is So Cal it has been perfect hibiscus weather lately with highs around 90F, warm nights above 70F and somewhat humid. I am feeding my plants extra to capitalize on it while I can...
