Doll, lovely Cosmic Gold.  I really like that cv too.  You're all going to laugh when you see my first CG bloom.  It is getting pretty close to opening and it looks like it will be about 2-3" across.  Then again the plant is only about 5" tall.

OK, I thought I was impressed with yesterday's Deep Waters but behold today's first bloom of Sea of Tranquility.

Again all I can say is WOW!

Also 2nd day of Deep Waters, I put it in the sun to acclimate the plant to it's future permanent spot so that definitely softened the colors but still special...

Whoa Shocked

Those are some GORGEOUS blooms Doll & FarmerD!!!

Kristen - I loved your beautiful blood-red "Black Dragon" and your awesome kitty's "Me-Yowza" face! And thanks for the pick-me-up Wink

My hibiscus have decided that they want real sunshine (palm tress, ocean breezes, paparazzi). And, just so that I know what they really mean, they keep singing "California Dreamin'"...  And now, this:

Not too new,  I think I got it last summer.  It didnt do too much growing after I moved, but it decided to make a huge vivid bloom!

Everyone, wow!  I can't wait for my plants to start blooming again.  Chris, your CDLC is exceptional!  I hope mine will bloom with those colors when I start feeding booster again.

And Farmer D, it's great to see Depp Waters as I have one coming in a few weeks.  Smiley

Came in from work (another cold, dreary, wet day Tongue) and immediately saw these two glowing cheerfully from across the room... Instant attitude adjustment (Ahhh Cheesy)
Maui Masterpiece (2nd bloom, 8.5") and second day Pocahontas (6.5")

Yash, great blooms.  Glad you got them and have them to cheer you up.  Michigan mush be rough.  New England is starting to see some spring.  It has been in the 50's all week.  Lots of rain, typical April.  But thanks for sharing.  Love those two blooms.  Getting a MM in the mail at some point.  Really excited!
