Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 01, 2013, 02:58:00 PM I finally got my first Slapstick bloom after almost killing the plant last year. Sometimes first blooms are a little weird but I really love the colors it is showing for this time of year. Can't wait for the next blooms...

Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 03, 2013, 07:27:51 PM Things seem to be slowing down and some very cool weather coming in now so might get even slower...
Farmer D Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 04, 2013, 08:25:21 PM Maybe things aren't slowing down...lots today but the really cold nights are almost here....
Venus Rising is magnificent in the cooler temps - I almost missed this one today. Saw it just after sunset Farmer D Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 04, 2013, 08:27:33 PM Farmer D

Farmer D Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Jonathan on December 16, 2013, 07:03:05 PM save up to 25%.......Just kidding ;D, Glad to be part of this forum, hope too post some pics soon. I have some hvh Cvs and some of my own, Unfortunately none my plants are blooming right now.
Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 16, 2013, 07:18:50 PM Welcome to the forum Jonathan! Looking forward to seeing your blooms hopefully soon...
Well I got my computer back but now I am waiting for my new camera to arrive - it helped to have the store insurance on it as I probably dropped it over a dozen times while taking pics the last 6 months...so hopefully the iPad pics are ok for now. Brassy Blonde looks amazing in winter - I like it more than summer and Cosmic Gold doesn't have a season...

Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: roadrunner on December 17, 2013, 07:30:40 AM Brassy Blonde has quite a color combination doesn't it? I counted at least 7 different colors on one of the blooms on my plant a couple of days ago. A bonus is its flowers usually last 2 to 3 days.
dave Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 17, 2013, 08:01:08 PM Dave good to hear from you and also glad your blooms are still happening. Are your plants doing any better?
Farmer D Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 17, 2013, 08:04:38 PM Venus Rising is much like Brassy Blonde in that it really gains a lot more color in winter. I am in love with this latest bloom.

Farmer D Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: roadrunner on December 18, 2013, 10:22:02 AM Darren I'm amazed at the incredible bloom festival you are still getting in December from plants that are growing outside.
Here's a perplexing bloom of Bright Horizon that I posted in the Hibiscus Mystery Game section of the forum. It's nearly 8 1/2" and I checked the tag to make certain of its identity. The thought of it being a sport entered my mind until I saw a similar bloom on a different branch a few days later. dave Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 18, 2013, 08:52:59 PM Hi Dave - don't worry about your Bright Horizon, I just had a bloom today and it is very similar to yours. Just those winter colors....
Farmer D Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 18, 2013, 08:57:05 PM It is interesting to see what the effects of winter can do on the plants. My Scarlet Beauty now has trouble opening up her blooms...
On the flip side Chariots of Fire is slowly filling out after over a year of thinning out. I have been concentrating on really getting the roots going. It is a slow but rewarding process... Farmer D Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 18, 2013, 09:02:24 PM Here is an interesting shot of four branches that all had dry rot. They are from my Rainbow Sherbet plant. These were all 7 ft up and in the middle of the top where the sun angle is probably too low this time of year to hit them directly. My guess is the nightly dew doesn't dry quickly enough.

Beautiful winter flowers from Kiev, Alexandr. Super nice Magnum Opus. Darren, you seem to be getting mucho flowers again, outdoors, in December. Quite an accomplishment. I look forward to Jan and Feb to see what happens in your Los Angeles garden.

Title: Re: December Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on December 26, 2013, 06:35:57 PM Rodeo Drive continues to be in full bloom mode - really is the color center piece of the garden currently. Charlie you should think about selling this one again - check out the plant pics to see that the bush is pretty decent even in the very small planter it is growing in.
