Title: Mystery 5 Post by: roadrunner on November 08, 2009, 11:08:44 AM Probably another easy one and I apologize for the picture's small bloom size. I'm still not accomplished at photo editing.

Cindy Title: Re: Mystery 5 Post by: roadrunner on November 08, 2009, 01:29:51 PM It is Fragile Moments and this is the only picture I took of it before it died on me a couple of months ago. Any chance of a few being propagated for next year? I'd love to order a replacement. It grew and bloomed really well in 2008 and this year went into a steady decline after it was pruned back quite a bit, maybe too much.

We have customers who have old ones that are really tough, like Charlie's stock plants. So I guess if it makes it through the first few years, then it develops more vigor. But instead of working on it any more, we're working on replacing it with a similar pink double with a better bush.
Pink Delicious that we already have is much more vigorous than Fragile Moments, and it has the softer pink color too. Plus its flowers last up to 5 days - amazingly long for hibiscus. We also have this new one coming up, Goodbye Girl: (http://www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com/images/goodbyegirltwins.jpg) It's a brighter pink than Fragile Moments, and the flower has a heavier texture, more like Lady in Waiting. But it's an amazingly good bloomer!

Where will I find the space? LOL
