Wow Erny, that Kilimanjaro is outstanding! The white markings on that one petal look like a bear claw. Stunning!

Farmer D I really like that Flickering Flame from the other day. I hope mine blooms before they have to move indoors.

Some blooms from yesterday and today. We have had cold temps in my area lately. Yesterday the high was 64 and the low was 42. I have noticed how the cooler temps have been yielding more intensely colored blooms on most of my hibiscus, and I'm loving it.

First bloom today on Quasar! Jaw-dropping! I took one picture this afternoon and just now before it gets dark. I really wanted to capture this bloom in the best light!

Also Blue Opal, Crème de Cacao, Desire, and Night Magic.

Paul, your photos of Quasar are outstanding. Isn't that a great cv? I think you have also captured the beauty of Blue Opal in your photo.

Thanks Erny! I was actually surprised by the Quasar bloom. I did notice the bud forming, but I thought it belonged to another cv which is right next to it. So when I got home from work and I went to go check on my plants, that bloom stopped me in my tracks!

Also, thanks about the Blue Opal. I took several pictures of it too and chose the best one. That one is super hard to capture the true beauty of.

Now if I can get my Kilimanjaro to bloom like yours before my growing season is up and I have to move them inside, I will be a happy man! Smiley

I have a 3rd Bridal Path plant that has been languishing in a pot on my porch for over 2 years doing nothing and looking miserable.  After things finally clicked in my head a month ago I dug her up, saw the soil underneath a thin moist top layer was bone dry to the bottom, repotted her and used ferts (not just water to rehydrate the soil) and just over a month later a totally different plant now.  Twins today more to come...
