Erny - Nice to see a bloom on Fifi. I got one from HVH last month but no blooms yet. Great blooms on Rainbow Christie and Carmel Dawn. Funny Voodoo is quickly becoming my favorite brown.
Still not much blooming here. Lots of bud drop and yellow leaves. Likely due to thrips and maybe some spider mite and possibly a delayed reaction to the heat wave we had. I'll have to start spraying with Spinosad and Bayer 3-1 and see if that helps. Blooms today: Lone Wolf bloomed again, Banana Republic, Erika Nicole (day 2), Hot Bikini (day 2) and a Hawaiian Orange Kokio with a cat guardian.

Ed - Thanks for sharing your yard photos. I always enjoy seeing how others have their plants arranged.
Erny - I forgot to give kudos to your Dragon Moon. It's one I really like. How long do the blooms last and does it fade much?
Monday's blooms: Best bloom so far on Enlightenment. Some really good splotching on this one. Lone Wolf day 2 and the two of them together.

1st bloom on Caribbean Silver Sophistication (looks a bit like Thunder Egg to me) . My mystery pink with its summer colors.

Bill, I love the bright colors on your Enlightenment. Dragon Moon flowers last about three days. They are some of the largest blooms in my collection and they fade to a really nice pattern on days 2 & 3. I posted the faded pattern a week or two ago and will do it again with the next bloom I get.
I was absolutely stunned today when I saw the second bloom on Serenity. This is a relatively new plant so still a little small. There is, however, nothing small about the flower--a good 8-9 inches. The photo doesn't fully capture the beauty of the flower. In my opinion any conversation about Hibiscus of the Year must include this cv. Congratulations Charlie! Others worth sharing today include Silver Dragon, Ruby Tuesday, Fire & Ice, and Swamp Music.

Red Cadillac consistently delivers very large deep red flowers that really catch the eye. Chai Tea is another cv that seems to be under appreciated. Another nice bloom on Rose Quartz today along with Acapulco Gold and Cosmic Dancer.

Bill, I share your opinion on Funny Voodoo. Another brown that deserves your attention is Cinnamon Splendor. It is a prolific bloomer. Other consistent bloomers today are Vin Beaujolais, Rainbow Christie, Rocket's Red Glare, and Black Rainbow.

Fifth Dimension with several second day blooms. Also Tahitian Orange Rainbow, Solar Soul, and Heartbreak Hotel. Most of my plumerias are also in full bloom and I can't resist showing some. Here are plumerias My valentine and J105 (a Thai cv).

Erny - Thanks for the info on Dragon Moon. Your Serenity bloom is awesome!!! I got a small one from HVH and can't wait for it to bloom. I've already added Cinnamon Splendor to my list of browns to get. Fire & Ice and Ruby Tuesday are looking great. Also enjoyed seeing your plumeria blooms.
Not much here on Tuesday. Johnny Reb always blooms with perfectly formed flowers and my mystery pink on day 2.

Red Cadillac is one of the more substantial blooms in terms of size and the thickness of the petals. Here it is holding up well on day 3. Also Luminescence twins, Raku, and pocahontas.
