Title: Dutch Windmill Post by: Nievesgirl on March 07, 2011, 11:22:39 AM I decided to buy this CV looks very interesting !!! I hope I can get some good seedlings out of it :)
Title: Re: Dutch Windmill Post by: Charlie on March 07, 2011, 12:03:55 PM It's quite unique, Kerry. Not very similar to either parent but the genes are there. Most windmill style flowers are small and simple, not very desirable for collectors. But this one is so large and has the lavender/blue tones in it that I found it striking. I watched it bloom and bloom without changing for months before deciding to go ahead with it. Good bush genes in it, too. Who knows what its offspring might be like!

Charlie I agree I never seen any hibiscus with windmill shape that was this big ! You know I do not like pink either LOL so this one caught my eye :) Title: Re: Dutch Windmill Post by: blupit007 on March 22, 2011, 09:37:47 AM this one temped me too! really cool.

Title: Re: Dutch Windmill Post by: Charlie on March 08, 2012, 07:28:58 PM Norm, I think this is the first photo of Dutch Windmill for the forum, for sure the first with 3 open flowers. Very nice!
Charlie Title: Re: Dutch Windmill Post by: topshelf12 on March 08, 2012, 10:25:30 PM Thanks Charlie, it has been a good bloomer inside a south facing window temps 54-72 degrees. If you look at the new picture I took about an hour ago, you can see how the petals change or form more of a point.
Norm Title: Re: Dutch Windmill Post by: Charlie on March 09, 2012, 09:25:07 AM Very interesting! That shape is how it got the name Dutch Windmill.
Charlie Title: Re: Dutch Windmill Post by: helixturnhelix on March 09, 2012, 04:02:58 PM Very nice Norm, how big are the flowers on it?
Title: Re: Dutch Windmill Post by: topshelf12 on March 09, 2012, 10:35:07 PM Thanks! The flowers are almost 9 inches
