Louis, I love June's Joy. I wish Charlie offered that one.

First Red Flag bloom - This bloom was a much darker red than the pic on the description page. But that was probably due to the cool temps we have been having this week. Should hold its red color well in the heat.

That one is a 7 incher.  The colors on DM are really really strong.  The yellow is the best yellow I've ever seen on any hibiscus ever and coupled with that very deep red eye with the pretty white rays - WOW! 

I'm surprised this one doesn't sell out faster...

Wild Allure is a beautiful flower. Looks to be about the same size as Wild Grape. I have to add that to my wish list. Grin

High Voltage - This was the biggest HV bloom I have ever had.

Lynette that makes my day to know you liked the picture of Daisy Mae enough to buy one.  I hope you are as happy with it as I am.

I have a really sunny showcase spot for it right below the corner of my front porch which should be planted next week.  With it's awesome parentage I want to see this cv grow 6 ft tall and have a boatload of blooms 24/7.

Today's special is Deep Waters...in the morning shade & after the afternoon sun.

Wild Allure takes after its parents, Allure and Born To Be Wild, in size being a mini most of the time. A "mini" is traditionally considered for hibiscus to be any bloom that will fit through a 5" wide ring without touching the ring. In other words, less than 5 inches in diameter. Erin Rachel, photo also on this page, is another traditional mini flower. I've been working on getting Erin Rachel's colors in a larger flower and getting closer with some of the new blooms.

Junes Joy was mentioned - it is one of the Australian cvs I imported some years back. Pretty flower but I had trouble with the bushes when grown in 6 inch pots so stopped offering it. They tended to be too vigorous and started flopping before I could get them shipped. Pretty flower, for sure.
