Farmer D, what can I say? Even the old fashioned garden variety hibiscus don't bloom like that in mid-winter. You continue to do a remarkable job. Thanks for letting us see those beauties.

Cosmic Gold Dragons Breath and a nice Valentines Day.
Also today I have a small orangy Thanksgiving, its maybe small due to the fact I have had it in a cool shady doorway for 3 weeks, but I do have 8 pods growing on it so I cant complain.

Darren, it's hard to believe it's winter with the way your plants are blooming!
Mike, those are really beautiful.
David, you better start making room for all those seedlings you will have in the future.

I had a Sun Shower bloom today.

Well John I have been making plans, truth is I only really have room to grow maybe half a dozen at most [and hope they are not like this one mutant monster I have at the moment], my garden is not really that big and is just an extention to my lounge [its actually the roof of the house next door] as you can see from the photo I just took,its 5am so dark.
But above my lounge is a very large empty flat roof,double the size of my garden which I am thinking of using, it will need a bit of work and I somehow need to find a safe way up there, I am at the moment thinking of putting in a Iron Spiral Staircase from the edge of the garden but once its all done I will have tons of room, but I suppose I had better wait till I get a seed first haha.
The second photo shows it a bit clearer my problem, its looking back into my lounge and you can see the roof I need to get on.

Mike those blooms are just beautiful - like in full summer.  Just wonderful for growing them indoors.  Great job!!

David your blooms are just awesome.  Cosmic Gold just has so much character!

John your Sunshower looks beautiful - counting down the days to get back outside?  Your weather has been pretty good lately.
