Norm thanks for the nice compliment on the T Princess. As I figure out it's unique needs more the blooms are getting better. My goal is to get more color like Jordan's which is just amazing. Great blooms Jordan!!
I also like your Some Like It Hot - that is an eye catcher. My SLIH has dropped all of it's blooms so far. It is in a hot and sunny spot plus it is only 9 months old (although already over 3 ft tall).
Deb I really like your Hot Babe - that is a unique color combo...how is the hawkisan doing by the way? Our falcon was making a loud bird call the other day and all the other birds were freaking out. Top of the food chain! Wish they could eat crows....I know they eat the babies at least.
Today's blooms...

Norm, you're in San Jose? Cool! I lived in Milpitas for 4 years.  Outstanding photos everyone! Kristen, I can't wait for my Vin to bloom again. She has once but I missed it. I recently pruned her, so no blooms for awhile. |

Jordan. I just pinched mine today... I am a pincher... Gotta stop myself sometimes. But Vin has grown nicely here. I had 4 bloom off him so far. Today I notice 4 more buds formed! How exciting!! It is my absolute favorite of all hibiscus! Even outdid Cindy's Heart believe it or not! |

Wow the blooms just keep getting better and better. There sure is a wide variety of CVs going on here...
John your Cindy's Heart is absolutely amazing - so much color!
Kristen your blooms are stunning. Really neat to see how City Slicker changes color after opening. Glad you're ok form the storm - boy the NE is really having a bad time this summer.
Norm it must be a lot cooler there than down here in So Cal? Another scorcher today but now it might rain by Saturday??? Huh?
With the hot weather here this last week I got to see which CVs really do well when blooming in heat. Rainbow Sherbet, Acapulco Gold and Summer Fun are my winners. Just gorgeous colors...I'll post some extra pics in the CV section there were so many. Flickering Flame just has such an amazing color array.
Oh yeah - first Heavy Metal bloom too!
