Wow!! that Corazon is very nice, I noticed today I finally have buds on Peppermint Drop so am looking forward to that. Also today I had my first Electric Orange which I think is very impressive and 4 blooms on my P's Purple.

Denise you said you like the Plumeria, well here are 3 photo's that are blooming now, they and the Palms are providing some shade for my Hibiscus, well that is the idea and it seems to be working well, and it will only get better as they get bigger.

David, here in southern California the plumeria lose all their leaves in winter but then grow back the following spring/summer. I assume that this does not happen in Vietnam? They all look great at your place.

Charlie From my experience and the research I have done the plumeria only shed there leaves if the temperature and/or light level drops too much, last year we had about 4 weeks of very overcast days and on one of my Plumeria I lost the leaves, the other 4 where ok so I will just have to wait and see. Truth is it wont make any difference to my Hibiscus plants if they do as they are all so mature and sun tolerant now, what the Plumeria shade does do is protect the actual buds and gives me nicer blooms, so maybe a few weeks of smaller and different colors but no big problem. |

Thanks for the plumeria pics, David. Your garden is very "tropical"!
Great pictures, everyone! Thanksgiving is the PERFECT name for that flower!

So David, what do your Vietnamese friends think about "brown" flowers?

Charlie they like them a lot, mind you they like them all really, gets on my nerves a bit but they always have to feel them, I am sure they cant believe they are real haha. Thanksgiving is very special but the real star of my garden and one that catches peoples attention is Dragons Heart, it is stunning, hopefully tomorrow I will have a bloom or two and will post a picture. |

I have been trying to make a screen at the bottom of my garden with cuttings of Chariots of Fire, I am slowly getting there, I just need to prune and fill them out more, they bloom almost daily which is a bonus.
A few others today including a very wet Samba Dancer.

Looking good, David! By the way, was Samba Dancer the double you recommended awhile back for hot conditions?
Below is a first photo of a big flower that may one day be available. Not quite sure how big it was but 10 inches plus seems likely.
