Thanks Chris. Pinot Noir is planted facing east so it gets a lot of morning sun but is totally shaded from noon time on. Congratulations on your first Dancin Dragon bloom. Look forward to seeing more as it matures.
Darren, Acapulco Gold appears to be in full summer glory--that quad shot is spectacular. That might be the nicest Flickering Flame that I've seen. Prosperity looks terrific as always. I got these three in 6" pots but all were about three feet tall and so went into the ground last week. I hope their blooms are half as nice as yours.

Darren, I didn't know you have Living Legend. I hope yours grows into the big plant and great bloomer that ours did in Fallbrook.

Some amazing stuff out there everyone!  I have been playing the Hibiscus Chauffeur this week.  Inside, outside, Inside, Outside....... Just when you thought you had a lot of plants...

I got a father son Vin to show you.

John, really nice Burnt Saffron. I don't recall seeing that cv posted before. How does that do in the hot Texas sun?
Kristen, is that Vin Extraordinaire? It's got to be the deepest purple I have seen in a hibiscus. Great colors on Gabriel and Night Runner as well. Classic hummingbird shot!
Got my first bloom on Secret Heart today. Also Night Fire, Topaz Glory, and Prima Ballerina.

John- Prosperity looks so different from Darren's! I wouldn't have guessed what it was. Both gorgeous. Can't wait for mine to bloom!!!

Kristen- WOW!

Everybody else- I check this page 10x a day and am loving everyone's blooms! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing blooms everyone...

Love that Burnt Saffron and Kristen those blooms again have such dark and rich colors.  Super hummingbird shot too!

I agree with Denise - John's Prosperity does look quite a bit different from mine.  I love that big pink eye!!

Got my first Hot Southern Nights bloom today - 1st is right after opening the second at mid-day.

Darren, you are really going to like Hot Southern Nights. I got mine in a 4" pot around Thanksgiving time last year. It was the first of a group in 4" pots to bloom--took only a few months. I put it in the ground a couple of weeks ago and it is already showing multiple buds on a plant that is still small. Living Legend is amazing--just keeps putting out a profusion of perfectly formed blooms. Seeing your Daisy Mae has convinced me that I must have one--such a brilliant yellow color. I still have plenty of room to plant and need more yellows and whites to balance out the colors.

Sorry, I forgot to say... It is Vin Extraordinaire on top and Vin Electrique on bottom.  One shot in complete shade, and the other in partial sun.

John, I love that Burnt Saffron.
Darren, That shot of Black Dream is great.  Love the AG in the background!
Erny, Love the Topaz Glory.  I really wanted that one last year.  Not one you find around too often.
