First High Heaven bloom - Love this double version of High Voltage Grin

High Heaven is a feast for the the eyes... Come to think of it, this bloom does look like an edible bowl of raspberries with a stiff dollop of whipped cream on top... OK, my eyes are drooling... time to go in search of dinner.  Wink

I can clearly see the pink center (that flows in rays right out to the edges of the petals). It might be because I'm viewing it on a flat screen and I have the resolution set at maximum.

Bon Vivant - I know it should have more yellow, but I guess the heat causes there to be more white. I kind of like it this way. Smiley

Kristen send me an email if you like if its a particular problem. This year has been my most successful and I have been giving them a lot of food and water, they like a lot but then if they are not growing [they will go dormant sometimes] they don't like any. When I had HVH special blend they loved that, I haven't got it no more and I see Charlie says the Houseplant formula is not suitable for succulents, which Andeniums are. But I do use all the other HVH products and its made a huge difference, especially the iron, people here in the village cant understand why theres arent the same haha, I just tell them its because I am so good, they havent got a clue what I am saying anyway.

Talk about having to eat my words, I cant find the topic where we where all saying what cv's disappoint, I only had one and it was Saffron , I said no buds horrible brown bloom and hated the sun etc, then this happens and with loads more buds to come.  In my defence I have had it in 90% shade for 3 months and what a huge difference its made.

High Heaven - keeping my fingers crossed that this will be a double that likes heat.

Nice blooms, Doll. I'm shocked to see First Love pick up so much color in your heat. Here it is always a soft pink. i've got some huge bushes of this one in 1 gallon size still. Yours looks really vivid. Also the High Heaven sure does resemble High Voltage - first flower I have seen of it since late summer. Bon Vivant may become a picotee - white flower with yellow edges as the heat continues. Pretty close to that now.
