Ahh, the second one is doing exceptionally well! I bet the first one will look like this before long, too.

Charlie and the gang, For those of you who have followed my "Saga of the Newbie" I thought I should update you on the progress of the ones that were in my "Hospital" A pic is worth a 1.000 words

Nice, John - buds and attractive foliage now after practically burning up completely when they first arrived!

HI, John,
Good work! A nice result of your patience.
I am sure you will like that gigantic bloom!
Very slow grower at my place and drops buds in summer, but worth having all the same.

Hi Nina! What kind of temps are they able to handle and still produce flowers?
Thank you
John

Hi, John,
This is a beautiful pair! Why are you going to prune now, when it has started blooming?
I do not know exactly at what temp it will stop blooming. Generally speaking, I have blooms till late December, the temps being around 6-8C (46,4F), but I do not know for that specific cv.

Very nice, John! I'm glad you persevered from defoliated plants to recovery with very nice blooms. I know you are facing freezing temperatures soon, maybe already had some frost? Have you figured out where all the hibiscus will spend the winter?

Charlie, The garage is ready, I have space for all the pots and will probably bring them in when it gets below 40 at night. I still have good growth with moderate to cool temps. 70-75 days, 50-56 at night

Denise, we do grow Magic Moments each year. It's one of the biggest double flowered hibiscus and the bush is strong and holds the blooms up so they are easily visible. Usually we have them in several sizes during the year - from big plants in 2 gallon pots full of buds to small 4 inch pots.

Thanks Charlie. I like that it's big. I have a couple of garden variety doubles but they are quite small. I think seeing a large double in person would be breathtaking! This one is pretty.
