Title: Scary Halloween Mystery for those who dare.... Post by: farmer d on October 31, 2011, 08:14:40 PM All right Chris and folks!!!
Here is one that I think will be a challenge (it better be this time!!!). My yard must be haunted all right with the ghosts of spider mites past...see if you can figure out this bloom before it doesn't last...

Well I notice that there is a white wall in the background, and stigma pads are yellow. It also looks like it is one of your smaller bushes, and given that it is in the pink category, I will have to say it is Cindy's Heart my good Watson. :D Title: Re: Scary Halloween Mystery for those who dare....

CB Title: Re: Scary Halloween Mystery for those who dare.... Post by: farmer d on November 02, 2011, 12:40:31 PM Yep, I'm impressed - your hibiscus knowledge is second to none Chris. This is Living Legend all right. Definitely a look I wouldn't have expected but with the effects of the spider mites still lingering it ended up with such a soft, delicate look. I enjoyed it a lot but want this plant to get back to itself ASAP.
By the way LL is a good grower too, I see why it is used a lot for hybridizing. Day 3 of the same bloom... (http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m613/darreneminian/Nov%202011%20Hibiscus/LivingLegendDay311-2.jpg) Farmer D |
