Wow Darren, thanks for those planter shots. Your plants have grown like crazy!

Firestorm is very hard to photograph. It is much more bright in person. Definite winner.

Erny, how many plants you have in the ground now? Everytime you post there is something new Smiley

Len, I had to take a count in order to answer your question and even I was a little surprised by the result. I have 155 hibiscus in the ground and 5 in pots that are going to be planted in the next week or so. I cleared two sizeable areas for planting in May and June of this year and in June planted 86 there. These were all in 4" or 6" pots so the plants were all relatively young. That's why I keep posting first blooms on these cvs.

Nice selection Chris. Really green may be the understatement of the day.
Aleksandr, here are a couple of pictues of Creme de la Creme that opened today. It may be hard to tell on the photo of the plant but it has more than 20 buds--probably as many buds as leaves.

Finally, Magic Crystal.

So many beautiful blooms!

Denise - Don't despair with Bienvenue... Mine dropped plenty of buds when she first got started, but she got acclimated soon enough. Now, she's one of my most reliable bloomers and seed-setters... She must have known that you were talking about her, because she had two amazing blooms the day you posted your question   Wink
Darren - Your Rainbow Sherbet display is SOOO tasty!
Paul - Scarlet Dragon is just gorgeous
Chris - LOVE your blooms and your present... Hope that your friend does, too!
Ernie - Amazing, as always... Marianne has always been a favorite of mine (one of the most trouble free doubles I've ever had).

Well, my hibiscus gave me an awesome birthday present today... A very nice display indeed! Now that the nights are getting really cool, and the days sunny and more temperate, all of my outdoor 'biscus are budding up and producing some awesome blooms... They're all so lush and happy out there, I just wish I lived somewhere where they could be outside all the time  Undecided

Here are my bloomers so far this week...

Amber Suzanne
Angel's Wings (a 10 incher!)
Bienvenue
H. Liliiflorus (loving being outside... Lots of buds now)

Thank you Paul!  Wink

Some more photos: "Outdoor Jungle" shots, and one indoors of what were my 4" & 6" spring-shipment hibiscus... They're in 8" (table), and 10" to 12" pots (floor) - They're all HUGE now!  Shocked
