A 9.5 inch Acapulco Gold! Our experience has been that it does very well in a sunny window indoors, too. As long as they get enough light the blooms do very well indoors because the temps are high enough. Outdoors in winter they are smaller mostly because the temperatures are too low. However, today was bloom bonanza day here even though the low was 49F last night. The flowers on some like Heartbreak Hotel were smaller and lacked spotting but there sure were a lot of them. Anyway, with Colorado being one of the sunnier winter states you should have great indoor blooms in theory. I can't wait to see the reality! I'm sure Cindy would like to create a "Colorado Indoor Garden" page if you take photos of both blooms and plants (please do).

Yes, please do, Chris! And anyone else too! I need gardens in threes to balance the website, and I just got some pics from Bart (Kentucky), so I need two more! Any and all pics are welcome. Just try to show how you arrange your plants, and try to get whole-plant pics.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally a bloom on Haute Couture after taking the summer off. A morning pic in indirect light and the same bloom in late afternoon sun.

Dave, gorgeous! My HC had not been doing so well, but a pruning and a good dose of Supernova seemed to have helped. It's still tiny, but growing now. I can't wait to see it bloom in person!

Thanks Darkhorse. I have several other hibs that the spider mites kind of made a mess of this summer that I've needed to give a good pruning to get them going again. I have a mix of some in bloom now, some just starting to grow back, and the new ones I'm waiting to see that first bloom. Guess that would kind of decribe a lot of us on this forum.

It took me a long time to finally want to purchase this cv as I wasn't sure from the online pics. Of course once I get it I am floored by the beauty of the blooms but at the same time it is probably good that I waited as now I hopefully know enough to keep them looking like this. We'll see. Also very floriferous plant too.
Sensational coloration for sure!
