Darren, me too!  It is also a favorite for me.  Wait till the winter blooms come for you.  I hope they are similar to what I get... however I get about 70º colder then you do!  But they look just like  Vin Extraordinaire!

Darren, nice blooms as always and very nice color on your plumeria.
This may be my favorite photo--Night Runner triplets. Also my first flower on Pepper Spray, Slapstick, Cherry Glow, and Bridal path.

Very nice triple of Night Runner, Ernie. It seems like many of your varieties have reached full summer colors - Cherry Glow with lots of white markings, Bridal Path with the yellow markings, Slapstick with super hot colors.

Farmer D, many super blooms but I'm particularly enjoying your photos of the way Flickering Flame is blooming.

Kristen and others, wonderful Vin Electrique blooms!

Charlie,

Do you have a Carmel Toffee and a Carmel Coffee, I thought I labeled my bloom wrong so I changed it to carmel toffee but when I got home I went out and checked the name and it says carmel coffee but I can't bring up carmel coffee on your web site.


Thanks, Patrick

Patrick, we have 2 varieties with the word Caramel in the name - Caramel Toffee and Sweet Caramel. I would guess that yours is supposed to be Caramel Toffee which is Born To Be Wild x Creme de Cacao.

Also, very nice to see Sugar Plum blooming elsewhere. I really liked that one when it first showed up but have never been able to propagate it successfully more than a couple of times.

It's always a treat for me when 5th Dimension blooms...thought it would be interesting to compare to Sea of Tranquility which had a beautiful day 2 bloom too.

Farmer D

Interesting similarities in these 2 blooms. Sea of Tranquility may have 5th Dimension in its pedigree, but that would be several generations back. Thanks for showing.

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your reply, so does that mean this is a misprint?  So I should change the name to caramel Toffee


Thanks, Patrick

Great pics, everyone! All the colors of the rainbow represented! I agree Darren...Confection Perfection is amazing!

Here is Sweet Pink. I am still grumpy about being sent the wrong plant (not from HVH) but I guess it is cool how big the bloom is....

We got our first taste of fall today. It got down to 65 this morning. High should only reach 89.

John that is a super awesome Hot Southern Nights bloom!!! I love the spots on it - really appealing.  Another heat lover.  Good to hear the weather is finally cooling a little.  Hopefully starting tomorrow here we can say the same finally...

Erny those Night Runner triplets are spectacular.  Not many of those happening around the world!

John R that is a great set of blooms you shared with us.  A nice variety of colors for sure!  Keep them bloom pics coming...

I have my first ever triplets on Confection Perfection so that is a nice start to the day for sure.

I'm really glad you're loving those FF blooms too.  I am not a big double fan but it is a pretty amazing swirl of colors when it produces those super petaloids.  Also love the dark and bright color combo too.
