Spring has sprung. I came home from playing golf late this afternoon and noted the brilliant colors of heavy metal next to my driveway. I grabbed the camera and once I started looking around I just kept shooting. Here is Heavy Metal twins, Herm Geller, Velvet Illusion triplets with an orange Banksia on the left.

Charlie, I didn't want to move to the tropics so I've done my best to bring the tropics here. My motivation was the same as Darren's. After my first visit to Hawaii I fell in love with their tropical plants and wanted to convert my yard into a miniature Hawaii.

Erny, your hibiscus are looking great.
This High Voltage was a little over 9 inches.

Wow Erny the blooms are coming fast and pretty now...I still think you're just getting started too.
Deb that Caramel Toffee is a very distinctive bloom - impressive!
John that's a whopper of a bloom there with HV. Mine today was barely 6" but the plant is just getting going again after a rough stretch during the end of winter.
AG continues to impress....

Deb, I have to agree with Darren on that Caramel Toffee--one of the outstanding brown cvs. I'm a big fan of Moonstruck as well.
John, very nice large HV.
Darren, very subtle mentioning SLIH and The Path which are nice but omitting any comment on T. Lavender Mist that is off the charts.
