Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: DavidU on February 11, 2015, 11:39:11 AM Amazing as always, D! Your magic crystal from 2/10 has just convinced me that I need that cv in my life. Also, it's unreal how different white hot looks in cooler temperatures than in the hot summer.
Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on February 11, 2015, 08:18:04 PM David I am glad you decided to get Magic Crystal - I love that one a lot!!! I have never had a MC bloom that dark before but it makes sense now that I have tripled the amount of fertilizer going into my drip system holding tank. All this time I was way under fertilizing them - it really pays to communicate with others and share strategies. Just look at the eye zone of Acapulco Gold below. I never got that look before and it is the middle of winter! Very exciting...

Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: roadrunner on February 14, 2015, 06:02:48 PM Darren,
My White Hot does not resemble either your pics on page 2 or those of it in the store. Another winter bloom form or mislabeled? Mine is growing under T5s inside the house with a temperature range of 65 to 70 degrees. dave Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on February 14, 2015, 07:26:27 PM Dave it could be White Hot as the pads are the same color and the white looks to be of the same as mine. Just that orange is strange - in winter mine get very dark red and in summer very bright red. Never seen it orange like that but every set up might affect them differently perhaps.

Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: DavidU on February 18, 2015, 12:44:18 PM Spring is coming!!! Here's my very first True Love bloom after receiving this late last year in a 4" container. Hoping for many more to come!
Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on February 18, 2015, 01:16:00 PM Congrats David! That is a fine looking bloom and your plants on the shelf there all seem to be in great shape. You should have more blooms coming soon - do they get much sunlight by those windows?

Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: DavidU on February 18, 2015, 03:03:32 PM Thanks Darren! Now that the days are getting longer they receive sunlight from the morning until around 1pm and will continue to receive more sunlight as we go towards spring. These are my "work" plants, as I can't go a full day without having some of my babies along with me :). As you can imagine they bring a ton of joy (and questions) to co-workers and passers by and always make the work day a bit better.
It goes without saying that all of your latest blooms look wonderful. I am especially intrigued by your latest Tahitians! I've never seen that Tahitian Royal Chocolate before until yours from the other day - very unique! Congrats on making the cover of the latest HI and thanks for the informative article. Keep up the great work! Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Merkity on February 21, 2015, 05:29:11 PM My Blue Heaven made an appearance last week.
Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Charlie on February 22, 2015, 05:04:37 PM I'm sure enjoying the photos that are being posted. Thanks for making my day and a lot of other people's as well!
During the winter we do all our hybridizing at Hidden Valley Hibiscus. This year has been especially good with lots of flowers of lots of great varieties available to work with. Below are a few photos of a few of the actual flowers we are using extensively this year. Charlie Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: Charlie on February 22, 2015, 05:05:50 PM And here are the last 2 from the hybridizing room taken this winter.
CB Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on February 23, 2015, 07:29:48 PM Jen your MBH looks awesome! Great job!!!
Charlie those are some tremendous CVs you are working with! The photos speak for themselves and you can see the extremely large size of many of them. It seems like 2017 is going to be one heck of a year for HVH! Farmer D Title: Re: February Flower Photos of the Day Post by: farmer d on February 23, 2015, 07:38:46 PM Farmer D
