Chris, I used to use Burnished Gold for crosses due to the nice growth habit but particularly because of how well it blooms. But I never got anything better from the crosses so stopped. Now there are better cvs to cross it with, and maybe something really nice will come from crossing it. I like your cross ideas and in addition I would try it with Cinnamon Girl and Chariots of Fire if I still had a Burnished Gold, just to see if the high bloom count can be continued or even improved on.

I wish I brought Cinnamon Girl, but I ended up potting in a three gallon before moving, and I thought that would be a bit large for transport. It is doing great and always has blooms on it. I might have to get Chariots of Fire, but I guess with Burnished gold, its already pretty good cv, so its hard to surpass it. I just cant believe how budded up it got the house.

since my sister is out of town I have to walk her dog , I have not been around the block for a while boy was I surprised ! The whole left side filled with hibiscus blooms. I have been waiting for them to bloom so I can see what they look like. I did not get a chance to take pictures of all of them ( tomorrow promise  ) One hibiscus plant I have been waiting for it to bloom for a while. I just took a bloom off and here it is WHAT IS IT ? it is barely 3" like 2-2.5 inches.  |

OMG how cute ! He almost looks like a Panda Shepherd lol I been helping my friend learn the ropes in AKC with his Amstaff His first weekend out he won , his class , best of opposite sex and winners  here is a pic of Mason @ 10 months old I want my own puppy NOW ! Seeing your pic if your friends Amstaff really makes me miss my dog Blue that passed away a few years ago. He looked very similar in features but had a blue and white coloration. I dont have a pic of him on my pc but here is Cherry Appaloosa and Blue Balerina from today. |

Kerry, that is an interesting little bloom! The way the petals are split suggests a connection to H. schizopetalus (latin for split petal). Does it have a tall, willowy growth habit like H schizo?

Hi Jon,
Pretty Blue Ballerina with big brother Cherry Appaloosa. Fall blooming is sure underway in southern CA! This weekend with predicted colder nights may slow it down but our outdoor garden is really going great right now!

charle, when I first saw it , I thought of H. schizopetalus. Nut its bush is so upright and strong, the leaves are small about 4-5inches long the width of them are about 2-3 inches. I will walk down there to day and post picture of the bush. I will see if I can get this to root for me. |

Hi Charlie,
Fall blooming is definitely in full force here! I was unable to check on my plants for about a week and sure wish I had my camera with me on Thursday as I must of had at least 60 blooms. I'm also surprised to see all the hibs growing in my new neighborhood and around town. I even spotted High Voltage blooming in a neighbors front yard. |

That's great about the blooms! I'm also thrilled to hear that you are seeing hibiscus like High Voltage in the neighborhood. I hope there will be a lot more of that in the future!

It's interesting to see Passion Play and Gwen Mary side by side. For those who have not seen these 2 flowers, the fuscia pink color is very bright in these varieties. Passion Play is larger, Gwen Mary has a fancier form, both very nice to my eyes.

Chris,
Burnished Gold is a beauty. How is your setup working out? Based on these photos it must be great.
