Ahh, wouldn't we like to get that shade of blue in a hibiscus flower! Not likely to happen until they start doing gene insertions. Beautiful orchid, thanks for showing.

Gotta love those Pinot Noir, Lynette! Thanks for showing.
Lately some of the newer varieties have been blooming before getting shipped out so I was able to take some new photos of them.
Queen Of Sheba - very rich colors only partly captured in the photo, about 7 inches
Ice Fairy - soft blue flowers on a surprisingly big and vigorous bush
Green Earth - one of the Fascinating Foliage varieties, looking greenish on a very nice bush
Sea Spray - great medium sized flower, can't wait to get more of this one
Venetian Pepper - offspring of Venetian Brick and every bit as colorful on a much better bush. This one may soon become a tried and true HVH variety.

One more than wouldn't fit in the previous message -
African Princess - a Fascinating Foliage variety with an exotic flower to match the big tri-lobed leaves.

Hi, a few from today. getting very hot in the greenhouse but too cold to put plants outside yet. I can keep the temp cooler by using 60 % shade cloth. the plants get enough of the sun through the cloth and are happy. Here is an unusual high voltage with the shadow of the cloth and its green tint. Twin Over the Rainbows, an intense molten lava and the old standby cosmic gold. gold has the perfect bush. not too big and not too small. this plant does not bolt and is very well behaved.

Over the Rainbow looks awesome. Cindy's Heart - CH has been my most prolific bloomer so far this spring, even surpassing High Voltage.  Simple Pleasures  |

I just went outside to get my mail and someone stole my Cindy's Heart bloom.  Probably one of the kids walking home from school. How maddening! |

Jeez - have to install a security camera, or get a mean dog! It was a super pretty bloom you posted!
More plants coming your way this Friday. I just remembered the 2 gallon empty pots. Have to write you privately about that. Sorry, John.

Thank god it was only the BLOOM!!! Great photos everyone. I have been dancing around with mine for a week and a half. Been getting nice days in the 60's with lots of sun. So I started the "go out to play while the sun is out" game... what a PITA! Well, I now have some sunburned leaves, but that is not the issue. I now have some yellowing leaves on many of my plants... No bugs I don't think. Could it be stress?
