Hi everybody! I am pleased to post one of my best efforts so far with trying to grow CV's year round. Ibought two Vodoo Magics last fall from HVH as 4" plants and somehow managed to get them thru the winter, and put them out April 1st. Today was the first bloom and I am thrilled! Picsare from when I first got them till today Enjoy!

Hi gang! Another first today! I have always wanted a Heaven Scent, and got one this year, arrived the end of May as a 6" plant and we did not expect it to bloom till sometime in July. Here are the first bloom pictures of the day.
Enjoy

Thanks for those photos of Heaven Scent, John. Your bush of it looks very healthy and nice, too. I hope it makes some fuller double flowers for you this summer, too.

Beautiful and artistic photo of Electric Orange. I have to admit that I also crave seeing the bloom straight on - not as artistic but in some ways conveying more info to people thinking of growing it. If you feel like it, I would love to see it that way, too.

Creole Lady just popped open... wish my camera would focus on the closeups better. This is a really pretty flower!

Jordan, unfortunately Creole Lady flowers do fade considerably during the day, but I agree the opening flower is very pretty. Not a bad bush, either, well branched and mostly upright.

All very pretty!
Lynette, the Sugar Plum probably won't do much until this June gloom weather we've been having gives way to real summer weather. It's not a particularly vigorous variety but should grow steadily this summer and start blooming before long. I'd just keep doing what you are doing and wait to see what a difference warmer weather will make.
