Thanks Chris! I will have to look into getting a couple light I think. Looking at my T. Princess, she's not too happy right now in low light.  |

Even though my hibiscus are doing all sorts of weird things, they keep hanging in there though, more blooms on the way. Flowers don't open all the way, dieback disease, brown spots destroying leaves, fungus on blooms, effects of Wilt Pruf, and spider mites still.
Yet almost all plants show lots of new growth and the colors are ridiculously beautiful.
Today's lone offering...

At least you have blooms Darren! Ah to live somewhere tropical... Good luck Jordan! My goal is just to keep mine looking good so when the sun comes back in June, they will be ready to go  |

I guess semi-arid can be turned into man-made tropical if you don't mind the utility bill...
I was wrong in my assumption of one lone offering today.
Lets have some fun and see who can tell me which bloom on my Black Dream plant this came from...

Great job!
I missed this bloom until late afternoon when that little glob of red caught my eye deep in the bush.
I bet this bloom last a long time as it is hidden from the sun.

Hi, this bloom is called Rum Runner. it opened this morning in its normal tannish colors and by mid day the tan turned to yellow with a large gray eye. i have never seen this happen. this is the first bloom in a couple of months since i cut it back. nevertheless, its a pretty flower. (EDIT) - based on the comments on this plant, i researched the grower that i purchased it from this past spring and it looks to be creole lady, mislabeled maybe charlie will chime in. i will take one more photo tomorrow morning. what ever, its a nice bloom. i'll keep it, will not send her to the dump  louis  |

 Hi Louis !!!! I hate to break the news to you but thats not Rum Runner this is what Rum Runner looks like I don't know what that is but it's pretty . Rum Runner is also a color changer this is the color in the morning and it turns yellow buy the end of the day. I wish I had a picture of it at the end of the day but I never took one. |

Louis - that yellow/greyish-white combo is very soothing. Enjoying it with the wintry background.
Uli - that Rum Runner is picture perfect. Is that your plant - if so WOW!
Here's today's bloom offerings...

More unusual pad placements on my blooms.
I've got to find out if these plants are drinking something else behind my back...you know this is Hollywood...
