David your blooms are tremendous.  Do you spray Supernova daily or just for special situations?

Black Dream just gets better along with the stunning orange edged Bon Temps.

Darren I spray once a month and soil drench once a month as routine. But after pruning and with cuttings I spray daily, sometimes even twice a day.

I am being really spoilt at the moment and I will have to try and remember now come April and May when its to hot and dry for blooms.

Think Pink Samba Dancer and a nice pair of Sherlocks Mystery among the others today.

Season's Greetings Everyone!  Cheesy

My first "Snowbiscus" photo, featuring Picante and Cindy's Heart

David & Darren - Your hibiscus gardens are beautiful beyond words... And David, that Pocahontas is absolutely stunning! Sorry I didn't have a chance to reply to the comments you both made about "the jungle" photo I posted last month (ha, ha!)... So, here's a quick pic to show you that you are both right Grin

Chris - I'm using narrow spectrum T8's vertically with 6500K & 2700K florescent bulbs overhead... No problems with vertical-only growth; Aside from the never ending battle with spider mites (@%&?#!!!), everyone seems to be happy (lots of buds now that it's cooler)...

Very nice Deb, Cindy's Heart gets better every time I see it. I have a nice Samba Dancer today and a lot of blooms on my Acapulco Gold[1 from yesterday and 7 today].

Ha ha just noticed the Buddha Deb, better not let Kim An see that, or I will have allsorts of Buddhas in my garden.
