Hello everyone! I haven't been on this forum in entirely too long! I've missed it! It is hard to get caught up on all the posts when you've been away for a couple of months! I have been browsing through the past couple of days trying to get all caught up. Everything is looking great. My hibiscus are in a greenhouse this year, as my collection grew too large for the guest shower  I have an oil filled radiator in it, that I have only really had to use a handful of times so far. The sun really heats it up during the day and it has stayed warm enough at night except for a few very cold nights. So far, so good! Here are some pictures. |

David thanks for the plumeria input - now that the winter solstice has passed hopefully things will continue to go in the budding direction.
Denise great to hear from you - your gh is looking really nice. Congrats and happy hibiscusing in there for you this winter.
Charlie that is a beautiful array of blooms for sure. So nice to take that magic outside the greenhouse and spread it else where.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and whatever else makes your days special this time of year!
For me that would be the twin blooms from Meteor Shower today - the depth of color is intense and the red/pink is so thick looking when seen in person I'm not sure quite how to describe what color it is.
Also my first decent - nice Bienvenue bloom for me. I've had this plant for almost 2 yrs from HVH and it looks to be taking off!!

Looking good Denise. That greenhouse should work well for you there. Am I remembering correctly that you are in Lathrop? That's where my great great grandparents established their farm when they came to California in the 1870s (via covered wagon).
John, your Cindy's heart just keeps producing nice blooms.
Darren, that Bienvenue was worth the wait. Very nice. Ditto Meteor Shower.
I haven't had anything worth posting for several days now. Everything seems to be resting.
Merry Christmas to all and a special hello to my British cousin David in Vietnam.

Merry Christmas Everyone
Darren those Meteor Shower blooms are very impressive.
My Cindy's Heart bushes were loaded with buds when I finally brought them in for the winter. I'm getting new blooms almost everyday.

More winter colors for The Path & BD but Daisy Mae looking pretty normal. It is probably one of the most consistent looking blooms I have in the garden.
