Darren - I was able to get Saturday the 16th off, so I will be attending the Hibiscus Club meeting. I would like to bring a friend who is a hibiscus nut like me if that is OK. I tried leaving a comment on the Facebook page but couldn't figure out how to enter it (not very versed on using Facebook). I will contact Cindy and let her know that I will be attending. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

More blooms here on Monday. Fifth Dimension, Creole Lady, Midsummer Night, Make A Wish and Noche Buena.

Cranberry Zing has me in aww.   The vigor from the cv is the most I ever seen.   Based on the parents, I knew this would be something special. 
1st bloom  rained on and still managed to stay open for 3 days
Colors are rich and hold nicely for me.

I find both Orange Appaloosa & Heartbreak Hotel are two blooms that look better as the day goes on in full sunlight....

Bill it is always nice to find those surprise blooms.  I have some days when I wonder if I will have any at all and there are always a few that I was not suspecting to put out a bloom.  Your S.O. is lovely!
