David, I think you will like it. The flowers look just like the photos but what does not show is the large size and nice crisp texture of the flowers. It's a fairly slow growing variety but that works well for pots.

Lynette, you've got everything blooming right now. Very few if any thrips scratches. Good job! I'm glad Moonstruck is starting to bloom for you - once it gets going it can be a very good bloomer.

charlie...that chocalate cherub is really nice...I have never heard of that one...lynette  Chocolate Cherub has great opening color and a 5-6 inch flower. I like the buds on it, too, as they grow large and dark colored before opening. But, it did not propagate well last year so we only had a few plants of it. I'm trying again this summer so we shall see. Charlie |

Beautiful garden!!...David does pineapple sundae do good in full sun? ?..thanks lynette Thank you,the garden should now look quite nice till the end of January. Pineapple Sundae is becoming the most sun tolerant cv i have,i say becoming as it was not so good in its first year but now as it is getting older i can leave it unshaded for 6 hours and even have blooms into the second day which is unheard of for me. |

You guys have posted such nice photos of Creole Lady that we may need to change the "More Info" page in the store to show the brighter look. Since it fades or changes color during the day we did not want to mislead anyone but I see that we did not include any of the opening colors and should do so.
David, you've created quite an attractive setting with your tropical garden. Very inviting looking place to spend some time!
Pretty nighttime shots, Lynette. I'm just wondering about the last one labeled Nightfire. It doesn't look like Nightfire, have you seen it bloom bright blue and red as it normally is?

I love the opening color of Creole Lady so much... yesterday was a little bit overcast so she didn't really fade until the end of the day. I think I'll make her an indoor plant at some point so I can enjoy the opening colors.  |

David, your garden is superb. It should be featured in the World Gardens section. Are you and Cindy working on that by chance?
All the recent beautiful photos of Creole Lady really make me want one. Charlie are any going to be offered in a more affordable size like 6" pots? Also are you still propagating any Silver Memories?

Thanks Dave and Charlie, well everyone really,having my garden on the HVH website has been my aim since Cindy first asked me over a year ago, i will be unbelievably proud so have to try and get it just right. I am hoping that once a few of the other plants bloom around the Hibiscus i will be ready and it should be on by Xmas.
