Svitlana we would love to see your indoor hibiscus. Growing the plants inside the house is new to most in the USA and we like to see how people do it.
Our plants are available now in the Ukraine - last year and again this year. Did you find them available online?

Very nice, Svitlana! I've grown all of these varieties at one time or another. I particularly liked Bedroom Eyes. It is a small double but the colors can be wonderful. Also very rare, I'm surprised you have it. That these varieties have spread around the world will help preserve some of the older but worthwhile hibiscus.

David, I'm not sure if Charlie still offers Sunshower. I got mine at a local nursery. April Showers with much softer colors today.  |

My first Black Dragon Bloom! What a beauty! The color was so intense I couldn't believe my eyes!! Neither could Noodle!  It bloomed about 2 weeks ago, I just have been dragging butt getting around to making them smaller.... The plant has given me 2 more blooms since. Not as robust red as this one, but seems to be a great bloomer so far. The plant is tiny! More blooms to come from a bunch others. I think the spring warm up has been making my babies happy!! Stay tuned!! |

John D - it's nice to see some blooms coming from Houston again! Deep Purple is a serene one, High Voltage and Cindy's Heart are energizing. Reminds me of the traditional remark JAP, shorthand among hibiscus hybridizers for "just another pink". It may be that pink blooms are common but really good pink blooms are very rare.
Kristen, you captured the many shades of red in Black Dragon as well as I've ever seen it done. Red is the most challenging color, seems to me, but some of the hibiscus blooms have the most extraordinary red shades that deserve to be brought out in photos. Nice work!

Thanks Charlie! And Lynette!
Here are some more. This Simple Pleasures is one that I have not seen before. Typically I have the softer shaded. More of a lemon yellow on the edge, a nice pink, then maroon eye. This bloom made my head spin! It starts off with an orange yellow edge, then a hot deep pink, to an almost black eye. It looks a lot like Heavy Metal.

Here is some of Gabriel's deep purple colors, edged with a peach. This plant has bloomed two times this winter. Both with twins. Is that typical for Gabriel? Twins? And I got messed up female parts on both of them. I have been getting these with a couple blooms lately... Is that because of light or temps? Really strange.
