Chris - Very nice moody blue "Rain Drop"... Maybe today he/she felt more like "Storm Cloud"?  A second Arnottianus bud opened today, so now I have two huge twins: 7" second day/reflexed bloom on top and 6.5" new bloom on bottom... I could smell their perfume when I walked in the door tonight (yum!  ). It's warmer and raining here today - Maybe it reminded them of "home"? |

Amazing Raindrop, Chris. Based on this dark bloom I should have named it Stormdrop! Is that the lush western WA landscape behind the bush? The Raindrop bush seems to be branching well.

Deb, thanks for the pleasant reminder of how sweet and pure H arnottianus can be. The fragrant ones are sublime! I must try to propagate this one some more.

Lush a beautiful hedges behind that window. Stormdrop definitely describes this bloom and the weather we've been having lately, I have self-crossed all the blooms Ive gotten so far, stormdrop would be a great name for any worthy offspring Raindrop is a very good brancher, I haven't done anything pruning and it is making more branches at the base, I think Darren should try this one in a shady part of his yard, it is a really good one. On a different note, how are the plants looking for spring shipping? I bet the 1gallons are looking really nice  |

Darren you've posted several beautiful Bon Temps pics. I'm envious. Mine is two years old and has never even had one bud. It's one of my prettiest bushes tho.

Some amazing color on an early garden variety "Tropical Red" double in the late afternoon sun, and some more snowbiscus photos (Arnottianus, Storckii & Tropical Red). Arnottianus is 9 mo. old and measures 57" from soil to upper stem, and Storckii is 7 mo. old and is 38" tall (received in late July 2010 in a 4" pot). Gotta love the species... Does anyone else have "Little Shop of Horrors" moments? (Hmm... Better order more plant food, just in case). |

A very, very intense Bienvenue. Wow. what color in my plants since the new fertilizer from HVH. This bloom measures 8-1/2 inches, much larger than normal. Produces a lot of pollen, i crossed as many blooms as i can, even the cats Louis |

Very nice Loise, Kim Anh has just arrived and we have had a few oohs and aghhs, ha ha still not sure which she likes most, the snow or the bloom but lovely anyway.
Bit of a contrast to me here, in the last few days I have had about a 70% bud drop due to a ferociously hot sun, still its raining today which will cool things down a bit.
