Darren - Welcome back!!! Nice to see your babies held together nicely while you were gone. Your Rocket Fuel is out of this world. Interesting bloom on Tahitian Tracvermont and an outstanding Unforgettable. Appassionata looks great (I can't wait for mine to start blooming).
Erny - Fantastic Dappled Shade twins!!! I've always liked Melon Melange but have never been able to get one. Charlie, is Melon Melange going to be available anytime in the future?
Mike - Nice Flickering Flame and those are some really healthy looking bushes.
Kyle - Great Space Oddity.
Blooms from the last few days: Black Dream, my mystery pink and Time Shift.

Bill your Time Shift bloom is really impressive - I love that red zone edged in brown then going to yellow. I know Erny is a big fan of his as well.
Kyle lovely T Princess - it is a classic and I never get tired of her blooms!
Things are starting to get back into shape here and some fantastic first blooms too.
First is Contemplation
My camera did not pick up the large pink eye zone too much. Talk about bright colors and I just love the thick orange coloring instead of thin veining going up the petals. Gorgeous!

Next up is Out of the Ashes and this one just blew me away today. These two blooms were in the box so you're seeing them as I did when I first opened it up today.
I am speechless except for cursing at myself for not getting this one sooner. I have been looking at it since last year and finally pulled the trigger which looks to be fortunate as it is not available all of a sudden.
Wowzers!

Third 1st time bloomer is Tony the Tiger. I saw this at the HVH greenhouse last summer and was very impressed with how big it was and the striking yellow-orange veining it had. This first bloom is over about 8" so good start and I look forward to seeing the blooms gain in size and color. Lots of buds already!

King Kamehameha getting better by the bloom with petaloids showing up. This one should continue to improve her colors and it already is quite pretty!
Tahitian Pink Princess gaining some lavender color now. I pruned back my plumeria even more to give her more room and light. Promising future.

What can you say about Some Like It Hot when it looks like this? Speaks for itself!

1st bloom in a very long time for my Island Queen. I added a set of sprinkler heads to my sidewalk planter after noticing some extreme dryout from the two heat waves in April. All the plants in that planter are responding magnificently so good things to come...

Kyle - Great Tahitian Princess!!! One of my all time favorites.
Darren - You must have brought back some island karma. Great King Kamehameha and Island Queen. I too was completely blown away the first time I saw a bloom on my Out of The Ashes (absolutely stunning). All I can say for Contemplation is WOW!!!
The last couple of days' blooms: Lone Wolf (day 2), Goin' Steady and the little Hawaiian Orange Kokio

Thanks Bill for the kind words!
3rd bloom for Tangerine Fusion and it is just beautiful! I can't wait to see this as a 10" bloom - I might pass out to see something so big and pretty...

First bloom for me on Sincerity though I can tell it started blooming while I was away. Pretty! I can see some spotting and the orange/pink play on colors is nice. I hope those two colors contrast more for a dramatic look.
