Here's a photo of Phantom, brought it inside to try and get a better photo but it still did not capture the true color.

David, very nice Hot Pepper. You and John both get much nicer looking blooms on yours than I. My Hot Pepper is developing into one of the nicest bushes I have planted recently. It was getting regular 7-8" blooms but for the past few weeks has been getting 4-5" flowers. Has anyone else had this experience where a cv producing medium sized blooms turns into a mini?

All the time with nearly every Hibiscus bloom, the only ones that are near pretty steady for size are Acapulco Gold High Voltage and Hot Pepper, even with those there is a 2 inch variant summer to winter. |

David, Rainbow Sherbert has been steady for me in addition to the ones you mentioned. And Cindy's Heart also.
But I don't think heat is an issue for Erny. In fact I've had more problems with Hot Pepper than the others. I think Darren was right about Hot Pepper. It doesn't like as much water as other varieties.
Acapulco Gold on the other hand loves all the water I can give it.

Doll, what does "RS" stand for?
Oops I think I just figured it out..."Rainbow Sherbet"?

So bush shots. Fabulous (which might be replaced as it is hard to shape for me), Cinnamon Girl and Flickering Flame going off.

John those are two exquisite Rainbow Sherbets. Those colors...
David I love your HPs, it's amazing how different they look from mine. I have to say mine are slowly changing to a lighter orange, more defined eye zone and the blooms are opening up more completely so let's see how similar they get over time.
Len those are awesome bush shots. Is Flickering Flame just an insane plant or what? That is a sight to behold and how those blooms stand out against the dark foliage of the bush just adds to the intensity. That is hibiscus heaven for me!!
Today a killer Palm Springs, I really love it when it has a deep red contrasting with the yellow. Also Bonnie Lass morning and afternoon to see the change in colors.

Wow I am really enjoying the super zoom capability on here. I wonder if I can actually see the thrips that are marking up my T Princess?

If all Palm Springs look as good as yours I think I will need to buy one.

Len it is an impressive cv for sure. The bush is really nice with attractive leaves and some terrific vigor. Mine is almost as tall as me now at 5'8" and is budding up like crazy. Also the variety of looks with the blooms is never ending.
A few extras from today...the closeup on The Path is really something.

I received my order today from the last store update on 7-27-12, and when I opened the box boy was I surprised! My 6" Scarlet Dragon and Satsuma with Huge blooms just bustin' to get out of that box! They looked so happy to be free at last, and I just had to take a picture!! Ha ha ha. (Just want to add that they were packaged beautifully as always!! My 4" Ingenue, Midsummer Night, Wild Allure, Flirtatious, and Splash were also in great condition! You just cant see them in this photo.)  |
