Wow Deb, lots of nice ones!  Who is the super tall one on the right?  Amazing vigor in that one!

That's Frappuccino (38" tall)... Can't wait to see the blooms on that baby!  Shocked

Wakanisha, another FF variety like Frappacino, is shipping with similar size. Neither has budded up yet but they will.

Oh Cool!  I look forward to getting my replacement Wak in a few weeks then!  I was disappointed that mine dislodged from its pot during shipping and died when I got it last year.  Since its so vigorous, I can't wait to see the new one Smiley

Hi Charlie & Cindy thanks for all the nice new ones I bought yesterday , I'll take good care of them . I got Vin Ext. & Ruby Tues. & Rosalind & Heaven Scent . As time goes I not only look for the prettiest  flowers but I try to buy the ones with the supper bushes & I felt like Rosalind was one of them.

Happy Memorial Day everyone, and gorgeous photos! 

Svitlana, it could be Antique Lilac, although I'm not familiar with that cv and how its colors can change.



I too was lucky enough to get a Vin E.  So excited!  I can't wait to see her colors in person.


A lovely Island Queen made an appearance at my house today.  Smiley

Wow, Mike those Heavy Metal are beacons of beautiful color.  That cv is always such a joy to see!

Jordan that Island Queen is very pretty.  Congratulations on such a wonderful bloom, that made my morning.

Just busted two would-be hibiscus-nappers  Angry

They didn't see me inside (behind the plants indoors, picking up leaves off the floor), as they were discussing which plants they were going to appropriate... Boy did they look surprised when I whipped open the screen door on the other side and casually came out to have a sit on the porch...

Duh

Yashodhara, are you serious? Reminds me of the time at my previous greenhouses that were on the same property I lived on. It was dusk and I was sitting at the desk on the second story looking out the window when a neighbor's pick-up truck pulled up to the most distant greenhouse. 2 guys got out and started loading plants into the truck. I ran out screaming !@#$!@%@#%#$% and rescued my plants from these out and out thieves. Next morning one of them slipped an apology and a check under my door - apparently for previous thefts - in hopes I wouldn't call the cops. I didn't but it just goes to show that such special beauty can be too much temptation for some people!
