Some prolific bloomers: Slapstick, Daisy Mae, Cinnamon Splendor. Also Rocket's Red Glare and Bessie--a uniquely colored red double.

Here are a set of Rainbow Sherbert triplets, my first bloom on Party Girl (received as a 4 inch in June) and a pic of my troublesome Splash. The petals are curled a lot - looking more like a 5 point star. Does anyone have experience with Splash doing that? Are I doing something wrong?

Capt-J I just love those R Sherbet blooms you're getting. As for Splash mine did all sorts of weird stuff until I moved it to full sun recently. How long has it been blooming for or is this one of the first?
WOW Erny, that White Hot is extraordinary!!! Definitely has my vote for HOTY.
Also your Slapstick bush is freakin awesome! That is exactly what we all hope for when we grow these beauties. Mine is starting to do some decent growing and I suspect buds should be showing up any day. I put a stronger sprinkler head near it and it really liked the extra water for sure. That is with much increased feedings particularly of the HVH booster.
Some end of day shots...

Here are some blooms from today, Double Cappuccino opened, looks good for such a small plant. Can't wait till the plant gets large so I can see how big the bloom gets and also Tigerama and Black Jack.

John me too - it is still in a 1 gl plastic pot on my driveway so next is to decide where to put her. I need some sort of dark background to make those blooms pop.
Patrick that is some intense depth of color you're getting on your blooms! The higher latitude works well for that...
Today's star of my garden has got to be Crystal Pink. I still feel this one is under everyone's radar. The blooms are well sized, the plant is budding up a lot and is lush and well branched. All this in my tiny driveway planter that gets baked by the sun and isn't even a foot wide! The form on this one is perfect and the striations of pink and white are magnificent! It is becoming quite the hit on Facebook too...

Erny did your Dragon Moon look like this early on? If so I think I need to move mine to a sunny spot but then again would that make the colors fade quickly? The three blooms I've had on DM have been gigantic approaching 10" and are very heavily textured lasting at least 3 days each time. I am not a fan of this look as it is just a pink rendition of Dragon's Breath to me - just my taste as others might love this look.

Chris, my Slapstick was a nice bush with two strong vertical stalks. Sometime back in winter both stalks showed tip die back so I cut off the distal 4-6 inches on each stalk. They started leafing out along the whole length of each stalk but no blooms until recently. Now it is going crazy as you saw in the photos. Normally I don't prune much, if at all. After this I think I will be much more active in the pruning department. Cinnamon Splendor is also a blooming machine.
I was out of town over most of the long weekend but returned today and found a bunch of nice blooms. My two favorites here are White Hot and Quasar.
Erny
