I forgot Thanksgiving.  My mom's personal favorite.
I can understand why Kristen, its lovely, especially that red brick colouring, I get that very occasionally, normally mines more brown.

Great flowers from all over!

John D, Frappucino looks great in your climate. I didn't propagate any - might have accidentally sold them all. If so, I might have to get some wood back as it deserves more exposure!

Darren, the wood I grafted from your T Lavender Mist is still growing great - might have some of that to offer by next year. Also, the T Pink Princess bloomed again with a larger flower, this time 7 inches of soft pastel beauty.

Shipping is going full swing now, next week we start working 7 days a week until the early orders are done (by the end of May if we are lucky).

Thank you all for the compliments.  David, my Thanksgiving is very consistent for me.  It is a beautiful bush and bloomer.  Cant wait till I have it for this summer to see how it does for me.

John, love all your photos, but your Sunshower is quite a beauty!
Darren, Did you move to CT??  We have the same temps going on!!
Everyone, great shots.
Thanks Cindy.  I love when I can incorporate Noodle or Tajah in the photos.

Charlie - I'd be happy to help you with wood to re-propagate Frappuccino; Mine is just under 50" tall on one branch and 42" on the other.  I'll send an e-mail.

Deb has summer ended for you already?  I'm still stuck on that Night Fire bloom you posted.  Wow!

Farmer D

Hi Darren - Well when it snowed yesterday, it melted as soon as it hit the ground... So, I guess you could consider that "summer" here in Michigan (we do - LOL!)  If you meant; where are all my "indoor summer" blooms?  Those are coming (lots of new buds - Sooo happy!)  Glad you're enjoying Nightfire - She's budding up and getting ready for another go.  Grin

P.S. - Looks like AG is getting ready to take over Hollywood (Go AG, go!!!)

Deb, I think that's the first time I've seen Black Beauty. Is that a Dupont variety like Black Dream?

Hi John - Black Dream is a very old hibiscus hybrid. IHS lists it as coming from New Zealand, but no one knows who propagated it or who it's parents are.

John, I agree with Darren on your Jungle Fire and your Sun Shower is truly spectacular
Darren, the growth on your Prosperity is incredible. Thanks for sharing Tahitian Lavender Mist. I first saw it on one of your posts a few months back and it went right onto the wish list. I'm glad to hear that Charlie is propagating more of them.
Kristen I hope the Thanksgiving I'm getting is half as nice as yours. Seeing your Noodle makes me think I have to coax Murray, our 11 year old 25 lb Maine Coon cat, to pose with some blooms.

Charlie, if you need some wood from Frappuccino let me know.

Darren, Sun Shower will need some staking.

Lovely photo's Deb, I think thats the best Rosiland yet.

Rainbow Sherbet and Acapolco Gold in the blazing sun, my garden is now looking quite lush and I think I am the main cause of the current drought in Vietnam haha, oh and one of my very nice Bridal Path's, I cut this and brought it in the shade to get the exact colour, its just a blur when I take the photo out in the sun.

I also today have a nice triple garden Hib and a couple of pale Bright Horizons.
I also have today a cutting of Valentines Day that has been grown in near total shade [20 mins of sun a day], I did it just out of curiosity just to see what would happen after reading what Charlie wrote about that Par stuff[higher temperatures and sun], and was surprised it got a bud.

And finally my seedlings, I cant believe just how slow they are growing, 3 inches tall after 2 months and I am sure this week they have got smaller.

Deb, I have to agree with David that your Rosalind is exceptional. Heaven Scent and Moonstruck ain't half bad either.

David, Shangri-La is looking none the worse for wear after the typhoon. Your Adeniums are unbelievable.

Thank you David and Erny - Rosalind is certainly putting on a show; very colorful blooms so far (hard to capture with fluorescent lighting indoors).

David - Your garden is looking very lush and beautiful... Looks like (between you and Darren) Acapulco Gold is going for world domination! Quite the prolific bloomer  Shocked

Your seedlings are looking great! As for their "not growing"; Maybe they're working on growing lots of strong roots at the moment… Then they'll get around to the "above ground" growing (probably at triple speed - LOL!)  Cheesy

Deb, that is a gorgeous Rosalind.

David, your Acapulco Gold is just perfect.

A few from today. Last one is my first Winter Lights bloom.
