Its spring in Ohio this year.
Pinot Noir and Tsaritsa
Both have lots of potential  but debating if I should keep as houseplants or acclimate them outside and see what they can do.

Some of my latest blooms...

Dixie Belle - Haven't seen many pics of this one turn up on the forum here and this CV is almost always for sale on the HVH website.  I'm not sure why this one doesn't sell out more often, as the blooms are as beautiful as can be and the bush is lovely.  I have this CV at work and I think I will purchase another for my home as I like it so much.  Charlie gets all of the credit for this bloom as this plant recently came in with multiple buds already forming.

Bright Hope - Again, Charlie gets the credit for this bloom.  HVH hibiscus of the year and so far it's living up to those high standards!

Tahitian Magenta Double Star - This CV is awesome!  5-6 inch beautiful flowers, dark green leaves and is constantly blooming indoors at my apartment.

I hope some of the HVH regulars from years past start posting again more often as we get into the warmer months here.  I owe a lot to all of you and always look forward to viewing others pics.

Raised in the HVH green house and arrived blooming.   Unfortunately I had to prune the main branch since the  top broke during shipping.  I still have 1 big branch left to bloom all summer and the bottom part of the bush is waking up.      Nice blooms Merkity, Jonathan, and David.

Tarzan is awesome!!!

Black Dragon was showing off over the weekend at home indoors under the T5's.  

I spent some of my Sunday afternoon re potting some of my at work hibs... I call these my "water cooler hibiscus".  From left to right: Marooned n Blue, Prosperity, Rainbow Christie, Dixie Belle, True Love & Tahitian Princess.

While in the office on Sunday I also took a quick shot of Bright Hope which was sporting doubles. I love the tropical flair juxtaposed with the urban background...

Kyle, your Tarzan IS awesome!  Beautiful blooms, Renee and welcome!

Great blooms everybody. During shipping season there is little time to visit the forum but this was a nice surprise to see so many high quality blooms since I was last here.

David, that looks like a fantastic indoor location to grow hibiscus. Super idea!

Here are a couple of favorite blooms from this week in the greenhouse:

T. Purple Passion. If you like different, these are some rich colors on this 6-7 inch bloom. Available from HVH in January, 2016.

Language of Love. One of our most popular new introductions. Really striking in person with 7-8 inch flowers. This one will be available again in the store in August.

Thanks, Charlie.  So far it's been a great indoor spot and the plants seem to be loving it there.
Here's another example of Dixie Belle thriving inside in that location.  Thanks for the great bush!  Language of Love has me looking forward to August and T. Purple Passion is a beauty!

I didn't realize it in Dec, but  I made out like a bandit when the  2015 store opened.
Silver Lining freshly open and 1st day outside in it's new home.
