I was fortunate enough today to spend a pleasant couple of hours at Erny's hibiscus paradise.  He has done so much work removing the old CVs and putting in dozens of new ones.  My hats off to you and it is going to look more awesome by the month. 

I truly appreciate everyone's efforts to post their beautiful pictures on here as often as they can.  Something so nice to look forward to and enjoy each day!

Got Your Back had it's 3rd bloom today and I must say it is really starting to impress me.  Unusual eye color as it is a red-burgundy.  Of course the bush is awesome already - got it as a 6"

Here are blooms out today. If anyone knows the name of the second picture, please let me know. I purchased it from Armstrong Nursery last year, but it did not have a label on it.

The Herm Geller picture shows how the bloom fades with age. The middle bloom, which is starting to close is on its 2nd or 3rd day - not sure.

The Surfrider seems more yellow than usual. Usually it is in the orange shades.

I thought the names would go through under the pictures I just sent, but they did not. The blooms are:

Unknown from the 80s
Unknown - purchased from Armstrong with no tag
Herm Geller
Anna Elizabeth - 3rd day bloom
Surfrider twins
