Great Raindrop Chris!  Whose pollen might that be on her pads?   Smiley

I hope the aphids signal an early spring for us in California.  Right after this storm I hope!  While those of you in southern CA are looking for rain, my weather people here in northern CA are saying it might snow!!!!!  That would be very unusual for this area.

Thanks everyone!

Lou: It is about 5 inches across, beautiful purple color. 

Jordan, the weather has been weird on the west coast, it is snowing here in Seattle, which is weird in itself!

Great stuff everyone!  I have a 5th Dimension with 3 buds on it and The Path with one monster that are all ready to open for the first time (actually I thought it would have opened by now) but probably open while I am away Sad Totally a bummer.  I was really excited for those... And having it be their first blooms on those plants makes it even worse. 

Do you think it would be too much to ask my brother to take photos of them when they do open with his phone and text it to me??  I mean after all, he is only taking care of my 2 bunnies, kitty, and dog, while watering all 30 of my plants.....  Pray for me please!!

Yeah!, free natural and organic aphid removal system installed.

Just a little proactive manual transport from one end of the garden to the other.
I hope you're really hungry...

LOL Darren, I think you have the happiest ladybug in the world right there.


I'm waiting in anticipation with my camera, as I have a Creme de la Creme bud that should open within a week...

Darren, that is so funny!  Lucky her!  Jordan, Im looking forward to your CDLC photos.  I have my name on the wait list for that one.  LOVE IT!

BTW, 5th opened twins for me today!!  Yay!  I took some photos, will work on them on the plane probably to show you all.  They were beautiful!  I also had a Voodoo magic open so I crossed them.  Hoping for The Path tomorrow, and will cross that too!

Aaawwwhhh, the morning after....


Wait a second, what da...I see what happened.  Someone booted out our aphid removal system from it's cozy spot and replaced it with a natural organic hibiscus flower bloom removal system.  Not in my yard!

Here are a few from today. I am so pleased with the HVH household fertilizer. I have never had so many plants in bloom at the same time. There were 9 plants blooming today, unfortunately I could not photograph all because I had to go to work and when i got home, too dark.

For the first time Bienuenve bloomed for me., its a stunning plant.

Sorry for all the photos, i was like a kid in a candy store this morning.

Wow Louis, those are all very beautiful.  The Bienvenue is a jaw dropper.  I hope mine one day has results similar to that...

Thank you for sharing!

After all the mislabeled plants, I am almost sure this is Tsunami. If you are familiar with the plant, let me know your thoughts.

Bright and beautiful Simple Pleasures, Mike!

Lou, you know the Jolander is actually Voodoo Magic, right? A commercial grower near me had about 200 Tsunami plants a couple of years ago. They all flopped badly as they matured and the colors faded quickly during the brightness and heat of a southern summer. Not my cuppa but it may do better if tended to carefully and in less intense conditions.
