Wow, I've got to get Wild Dream, Nightfire, and Heartbreak Hotel. Those are fabulous looking blooms. The wish list keeps growing and I've got to find more space. Anyway, here are a few of mine from the past week. In order: Unnamed seedling, a larger than normal Bluebird about 6 1/2", Over the Rainbow, Aztec Sun, and Heavy Metal.

Nice flowers daves , I always wanted to see more pictures of aztec sun thanks.
You will not be disappointed with heartbreak hotel or wild dream. Nightfire is nice looking and has a great buch but it is slow growing and the blooms last only one day which is a shame but the cv is still worth having.

I haven't had any blooms for awhile, but here are 2 today! Not only that, but this is the first time both of these plants have bloomed.  Belle du Jour (with 4.5 petals, one is little and apparently stopped developing) and Buttercup |

Hi! everybody, Well as we know not all things in Texas are normal, and the last 10 days we have nothing but rain, not torrential, but continuous, we have had over 7.5 inches according to my rain gage. Everything has been saturated with water. So I have not been able to keep with my watering regimen and fertilizer program. I have lost several buds on my Bridal Path, and lots of leafs are starting to turn yellow. Temperatures have moderated with lows in the 60's and highs in the low 70's. This has given Bridal Path a break from the heat of summer and they have responded! Today the largest Bloom ever at 9.5" Hope you enjoy

At 9.5 inches that may be the biggest one so far for Bridal Path! Fall can be an excellent time for hibiscus for just the reasons you are talking about. It's good to enjoy it before putting the plants away for the winter, and not miss out on it by putting them indoors too soon!
The planters drain, right? With that much rain they could build up too much water inside if they do not drain. It's also good to keep in mind that hibiscus change their leaves as part of their natural growth cycle so every yellow leaf is not an indication of a problem - some are just to be considered as "scheduled maintenance" by the plant.
I'm so glad that the Bridal Path plants worked out after the disappointment with Magic Moments.

Charlie, There is no disappointment, with the Magic Moments! Only with their care giver! Like Tony Romo, I accept full responsibilty for their health.
On the other hand, the two that went to the hospital have responded very well, and I will post in the M/M section, their pictures. Two of them would be further along if I had taken your advise and pruned them back earlier.
Thanks for everything,
John
