Best of Times is really in a groove now with one perfectly pretty bloom on day 2. I could not be happier with the look of it - sunset spectrum perfection.

Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Ernest on November 04, 2013, 09:12:28 PM Darren, the quantity and quality of your blooms is astounding.
Tahitian Queen is still big and beautiful on day 2. Dragon Moon, Blue Opal, Ruby Tuesday, Rocket's Red Glare, and Rainbow Sherbert. Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Ernest on November 04, 2013, 09:17:45 PM I like the look of Riptide on day 2.

I can honestly say I am jealous of you environment. A goal for me :) Some blooms of note from my indoor environment. Pinot Noir and Thunder Egg. Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 07, 2013, 07:27:35 PM Ed it is really expensive to live here in So Cal and we do put up with some ridiculous things but the equalizer and then some is the weather. Never bad for more than a few days and one can plant in the ground without much fear of killer freezes for the plants where I live in the coastal plain. I give you all credit for having to work so hard and move them around and still get such nice results.
Farmer D I hope I just didn't jinx it for this upcoming winter.... Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 07, 2013, 07:31:01 PM Blush of Youth really showing some surprising colors as we discovered in the Mystery Game...

It's great to see old timers like Living Legend blooming its head off as well as the newer varieties showing what they can do. Thanks for sharing with everybody!
EdW, that photo of Thunder Egg is one of the best I've seen so far. Good job! Charlie Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 08, 2013, 07:41:01 PM Thanks Charlie!

Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 09, 2013, 06:19:34 PM Great monthly online store update Charlie & Cindy! That is a lot of varieties added...
Speaking of additions here is my first ever bloom for Adventure. It seems this time of year here in So Cal it takes two days for the bloom colors to fully show so I am curious what it will look like tomorrow. Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 09, 2013, 06:22:46 PM I am just loving Blush of Youth - the colors are so interesting! And on Day 3 now...
Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 09, 2013, 06:26:38 PM Legendary Pleasures is looking very pretty on day 2. I can really see the improvement in the blooms now that the plant is doing well. Very happy!
Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 09, 2013, 06:41:04 PM Rainbow Sherbet is just amazing as it is now over 7 ft tall and the bush is a perfectly symmetrical, lush tower of green. As I stated a while back I have never intentionally pruned her except during the 1st winter when she had severe die back disease on account of me not knowing what I was doing then.
After a bout of severe soil dry out last summer RS has been steadily recovering and now it looks like it is starting to try a mass bud up. Can't wait! Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 09, 2013, 06:44:51 PM Bright Hope continues to impress - frequent huge blooms and a great bush all in a potted plant. Very striking look!

Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Ernest on November 12, 2013, 02:09:46 PM Darren, your blooms are fantastic. Dapple Dandy is a real standout and I'm glad to see your Prosperity producing again.
Summer Shore never seems to stop blooming. The bush has an open and somewhat sprawling growth pattern but the multiple daily blooms more than make up for it. Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Ernest on November 12, 2013, 02:13:46 PM These are all second or third day blooms: Vin Magnifique, Melon Melange, Dappled Shade, Cherry Appaloosa.
Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 12, 2013, 06:47:51 PM Erny good to see your blooms are still doing there thing! Fortunately the weather has been fantastic so far this month...I wasn't expecting the blooms to continue this strongly now.

Very pretty and I can't wait for me especially in summer colors too.

Four blooms today. Image attached. Ed Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 25, 2013, 09:03:25 PM Ed you are so right! My two potted ERs are going nuts now. I can imagine how they must brighten up the room you have them in. Enjoy!!!
HSN triplets. Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 25, 2013, 09:10:15 PM I am just amazed at how strong all of my plants continue to be and all the yellowing of leaves I was seeing recently has stopped again. Ironically I figured out that it was time to decrease the amount of feeding they were getting as I turned off everything for several days as we had our first rain event here. Within just a few days all yellow leaves stopped and lots more buds started showing up on top of all the buds already.
Now can I keep it going when the first really cold nights hit which might be next week... Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 25, 2013, 09:13:32 PM Legendary Pleasures has come into it's own - very pretty blooms constantly!
And Ay Caramba is just breath-taking! Huge and so deeply colored - amazing... Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 25, 2013, 09:16:19 PM Farmer D

Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 25, 2013, 09:22:38 PM Picante with it's winter colors is a dead ringer for Dragon's Breath.
Also a gorgeous bloom on Red Cadillac at my in-laws house. Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 25, 2013, 09:26:36 PM Charlie good news on Bright Horizon - my blooms are having no problem at all opening up on their own. I love the winter colors on it too - really eye catching against the dark leaves this plant has...
Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 26, 2013, 07:49:39 PM HC as I've never seen it before. This is probably as a result of too much ferts as it is recovering from severe burn. Still really surprising...

Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Ernest on November 27, 2013, 12:29:02 PM Darren, the colors you are getting are incredible--especially considering that we're heading into colder weather. That T. Princess you showed a few days ago had that deep pink edge that I've never seen before. After a long dry spell I've got a few worth sharing. These are mostly opening colors from this morning.

Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Ernest on November 28, 2013, 04:15:40 PM Darren, your yard shots are stunning. What an incredible floral display at this time of year. I'm loving the colors of Black Dream.
Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: tropicalken on November 28, 2013, 09:37:16 PM Great blooms Darren! Thanks for continuing to post when most of us have little to show during the colder months.
A friend showed me how to downsize pictures today, so I'm hoping I can post some pictures next week when I return home. I'm still wondering why I used to be able to post pictures, but now they are too big and have to be downsized. Such is life. Happy Thanksgiving and good hibiscus growing to all. Ken Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 29, 2013, 07:02:34 PM Thank you both Erny & Ken! It looks as if the only thing left to stop the blooming is some really cold nights and guess what? This upcoming week will be the first night time temps to dip into the high 30Fs potentially (we might have had just one night under 50F so far this season so big change coming). Every year here it is either the last week of November or first week of December this happens so right on time.

Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 30, 2013, 10:11:01 PM Black Dream has become insanely dark - my camera doesn't want to show it in most shots but this is pretty much what it looks like now in the shade
Farmer D Title: Re: November Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on November 30, 2013, 10:14:33 PM This time of year Hot Southern Nights is just gorgeous with four bands of color! This has become one of my favorites now. It blooms a lot too!
