Two blooms today, 5th Dimension and Belle du Jour. I can't wait for the Belle to get bigger so I can experience the full size of her blooms! ( I got this one as a 4" a few months back)

Very nice, Jordan! I think I guarantee you that Belle will show off some 8 inch plus blooms when conditions are right for her.

Charlie is Belle more of a heat loving cv or does it prefer average conditions? My guess is it likes more moderate temps, as I do remember hearing it does well indoors.

Jordan, Belle du Jour does fine indoors but thrives in the summer heat. The colors are a lighter pink when its hot but the blooms get really large. Below is a photo sent by a customer of Belle in summer along with his granddaughter - you can see the size and color pretty well in this photo which is a favorite of ours.

Question for Quaver.
Hello friend,I must say you have beautifull colection,I read somewhere that you live in Rusia,it must be cold in winter there,I presume you put your plants indoor this days for winter rest?
I am also interested in wich way you make your colection grow,because here in my "balcan" state it is hard to get any.

Bridal Path continues with it's outrageous growth and blooms, almost 3' tall. They started out as 6" plants in June and there are two plants in each planter box. Enjoy

Pretty color. I would cross it with Saffron to bring the size up. I'm pretty sure that some of the seedlings would be solid orange and others would have the white eye of Saffron. They would surely root well.

John, your garden and patio are fabulous. I'm envious of your photos of Bridal Path. I just lost mine and ordered another one last week. It had some of the most spectacular blooms in my collection this spring. Here are a couple of pics of mine from early May before it rapidly went downhill. As you can see it was still a young plant. Wish I could have placed it in your hibiscus hospital. You've had much better success at rehabing badly stressed plants. Your Magic Moments are recovering nicely and look great.

Tamibon and First Lady. First Lady seems to handle heat well for a large double bloom. It has bloomed consistently all summer.
