Erny your Zelma really is a unique and fascinating bloom. Along those lines so are Butterscotch Bliss and of course White Hot. I had to look up genuflection's meaning - very appropriate indeed!
I know in the past Charlie had mentioned the scientific name of what happened to this Confection Perfection bloom where only half of it received the pink pigmentation during development.

Erny I am surprised by the difference in our Illuminati blooms. Mine was hit hard by spider mites and part of the regimen was giving her Kontos with booster as I figured the salt would help the plant absorb the pesticide faster. Maybe it also helped darken up the blooms?

Erny,
Your Kilimanjaro looks great, I didn't realize it was released yet , I'll have to keep a eye out for it. Everyone's blooms look great, now that I have seen Glitz and Glitter , I can't wait for ours to open. The bud is microscopic so it might be a while

Erny, great Kilimanjaro bloom!
Darren, that Confection Perfection bloom is crazy. I had that same thing happen to a Periwinkle bloom a while back. Half the bloom was purple and the other half was brown. Weird, huh? It keeps things interesting!
Well here are some of my blooms from this past weekend. I didn't have time to post them until now. I figure I should get these posted before I start with today's blooms.
My first bloom on Blue Opal! It was such a beauty and the camera really didn't capture the color accurately. I took 3 pictures of it. One after just opening, one a bit reflexed, and one later in the day. I cant wait until it blooms again!
Also my first bloom on Vin Magnifique. It was such a huge bloom on such a small plant. I wish I had taken a better picture without the sun washing out the top part of the photo.
Also Fairy Music continues to bloom like there is no tomorrow. By far, this cv has bloomed the most for me this year! Love it!

Ok. Time for todays blooms! Today I got my first bloom on Thunder Egg!!!  I got this as a 4" pot last summer, it struggled a bit when it was inside over the winter, but then in the spring this plant grew like crazy! It got so tall and branched out so much that I had to move it to a larger pot size. This cv is a super grower! So finally today I get to see a bloom. It was worth the wait! |

Another stunning bloom on Appassionatta! I'm glad I caught this one just as it opened. This one really likes to reflex shortly after blooming. The last couple blooms haven't been post-worthy because of that. So I'm a happy guy that I got this bloom early! Also blooms on Desire and Energy Blast.  |

Got a bloom on Too Hot Too Handle that has one petal that didn't develop like the others. Still the color is amazing so I figured I'd still share it. Also Sea Spray, Some Like It Hot, Swamp Music, White Ho. |

Finally, a couple group shots. One thing I enjoy about growing all of my hibiscus in pots is that I can rearrange them!  Enjoy! |

John, that has to be one of the most intense pinks I have seen on Ms. President. Thanks for showing June's Dragon. I don't think it has been on the forum--at least not recently. I'm still waiting for mine to bloom.
Paul, you are right about Blue Opal. It just doesn't come across as well in photos. That Appassionata is really nice and I love your group shots.
Darren, it is interesting how different our Illuminatis look. I wonder if mine is just not getting enough sun where it is. I also like your Scarlet Beauty a lot better than mine.
First bloom on Raging Bull today. Also Secret Heart, Gentle On My Mind, Blue Opal, and Quasar.
