Thanks Charlie!
A nice Flirtatious bloom until I tore the petal while manually opening it. It's at a point now where quite a few blooms don't want to open even though they are matured. Our version of winter weather is enough to hamper the hibiscus in this manner currently.

HI everyone. I was away for a long time. I just got a new camera. I'm trying to post a pic of Ay Caramba, but it's telling me the file is too large. I downloaded it from my camera to "my pictures". Anyone know how I can make the pics smaller to post here?
thanks.

Hi Maureen - are you using a pc or mac? It is 400kb max to post a pic on here - cropping the picture down is a quick way of reducing the size of it. Maybe not such a super close up and then crop out the stuff around it to reduce size. Just a quick suggestion - I would google that if a pc.
One lonely bloom today - have quite a few for tomorrow hopefully!

Nice blooms, Darren! How is the situation with buds now? Do you think there will be an abundance of flowers like last January?

Charlie, after about 10 days of nothing I now have a ton of buds although the hard rain yesterday knocked some off. I tried to take some photos but the buds are hard to see unless they are close to opening. My only decent bloom today is Pepper Spray.

Erny I'm hoping this is the low point for us as far as the lack of daylight and decent weather. I am seeing the same thing too, mine are taking forever to open and quite a few I have to manually open or they just never do it on there own currently. You have a ton more buds than I have though - I hope they all start to open soon...
Last night down to 39F so coldest for us so far this season...
Charlie I'll answer your question next year.
I would like to thank everyone who posted pics and comments throughout the year. I know I super enjoyed seeing everyone's beautiful blooms and want to thank you both Charlie and Cindy very much for providing us with this forum to share our passion and enthusiasm for hibiscus. May 2013 bring you all much happiness and abundant growth!
