Interesting Bonnie Lass, Doll. Intense main color but the heat must have knocked out the color from the edge. Nice form on this one.

It is still getting into the 90's everyday. Until that first cold front comes through it will stay that way. A cold front in Houston this time of year knocks the night time temps into the 60's and daytime highs into the 80's. Almost sweater weather for us. Lol.

Totally unheard of here but its the exact same weather we are getting,it should be great for my Hibiscus. Last night was the lowest night time temperature [64f] in 40 years. Makes me laugh though the government in Nha Trang are advising old people to try and keep warm during the night and should the daytime get below 70f they will shut the schools to avoid a flu outbreak. Even funnier,last night i was in the garden feeding my plants with Safari[just wearing a pair of shorts] and asked my girlfriend if she would help me measure out as my eyesight is not so good and she refused as there was no way she would take off her gloves,ha ha unbelievable.

Kerry Beautiful photos!!
I'm home from vacation. Most of my hibiscus did OK. Belle du Jour dropped about 15 leaves and is now mostly yellow. I put her in my bay window that has beautiful morning sun... in the winter when the leaves are all gone. Oops. So now back to rehab for her... My mom didn't water everyone as they seemed to be wet, but when I got home, Voodoo Magic & Gabriel were wilting. I watered them and they bounced back to health. Then I went into my bedroom to find another 10" Cindy's Heart! And another bloom from Simple Pleasures!

I notice that telltale yellow dust on the staminal pads of your blooms, Kerrie! Voodoo Magic pollen dries out very fast in hot and sunny places so your in the house plant could do a lot better in terms of pollen.

Nice one, Lou!
Love Story is one of our tried and true plants - great color and a solid bush. There will be a couple of 2 gallons at next Saturday's Open House and if not sold will be in the online store on Sunday.
