Here are some photo's of what bloomed today, I tried crossing the 2 just to see if it would take, I think it would look neat if you could get the purple veins with the brown flower.

Chris, very pretty First Love! I like the photo where the bloom shows more white. Is that the same flower throughout the day or 2 different blooms? Patrick, Song Sung Blue and Blackjack? Makes me miss my Blackjack.  |

Patrick, almost anything is possible with that cross. I don't know if either sets seeds readily, perhaps you will let us know what happens with your crosses...

It's A Wonderful Life today, twins! Looks like 3 more will open tomorrow along with a Confection Perfection bloom. One photo is from this morning and the other is from tonight. IAWL does have some of the most perfectly formed flowers I'm seen. These were 7" and 8" across. The IAWL is in my extra bedroom along with Heartbreak Hotel for quarantine, so I suspect blooms will get much bigger when it goes outside in the heat and light. If you look closely you can see the pretty blue ring around the pink color in the middle.  |

Jordan,if we had hibiscus shows in California, It's A Wonderful Life would win a few! Maybe we should start thinking about shows one of these days. Anybody interested?

Awesome Jordan! Makes me wish I got IAWL when it was available. If I was still in Cali, I think shows would be fun |

Confection Perfection today. This plant is just lovely everywhere. Some of the prettiest foliage so I couldn't resist a bush photo. My camera missed a little with the bloom color again. I need to figure out how to take good photos... Charlie, I think shows would be fun. I know almost nothing about them, but I'd love to participate if given the chance. We need to start a new generation of hibiscus shows where the bush matters too. |

Thanks David. I agree that bush photos are some of my favorites.
Here is It's a Wonderful Life again today with 5 open blooms!! Took a little bit longer to open than CP because it's indoors. I need to prune it, which will be hard with all the buds it has developing.

Whoa-is-me, those photos are gorgeous! As usual, Cindy is saying "ask her if I can use one on the web site". I get tired of asking, but........... Very nice, Jordan. Umm...maybe you should send that plant back. Just kidding.  I suppose I should add that there are several 4 inch pots of It's A Wonderful Life that will be available as of the next update. To get an email when that happens, put in a Waiting List request for this cv. Charlie |

I missed those Confection Perfection photos. Such a unique bloom and such pretty photos!
I agree that if we start organizing some type of shows with competition we should figure out a way to feature the bushes, too. Shows could do with a re-thinking about how best to host a show so that it serves everyone as much as possible.

Hmm, I haven't ever seen Bridal Path with as much yellow. However, I had never seen a yellow Saffron until I grew one on a shaded porch for awhile and the blooms changed from orange to yellow in that type of light. Where has this one been growing? How big are these blooms? Leaf photos can also help ID a variety.
