Darren, your Black Dream is amazing. I would love to see you get a Cindy's Heart. I'm sure you would have tons of blooms on it. It is a very prolific bloomer.

John I'm right there with you on that one.  I recently got one but looks like it has a little ways to go but I know that one day...it's in a really sunny hot spot so it should do it's thing.  Is growing really quickly!!

Cindy's Heart dinker


Sea of Tranquility - this one gets better after it opens the first few days - just amazing!




Daisy Mae


Prosperity - get ready for this one, monster bush and now budding up like crazy.  Could be the next COF - can't wait.

Lynette here is a pic of Tahitian Bronze Radiance Bush.  I am spraying it religiously with SN to promote branch and leaf growth but extremely slow results.  What would be the best adjectives to describe the form of this one?

Bridal Path which is another first for me. It has a little bit of bud damage which is a shame as the colors really stand out , I have had loads of bud damage lately but I do seem to be finally getting on top of it .

David, did you ever figure out what was causing your bud damage?

Darren, another one that blooms like crazy is Creole Belle. The bush is a little floppy though.

To be honest Doll no, it could be Thrips but I suspect Mealy bugs, either way it seems to be clearing after 3 sprays of Neem Oil over the last 18 days, I will now do 3 sprays with Spinosad over the next 18 and hopefully this will clear it up.

Don't know Kristen, all the seeds got mixed up at customs, mind you of the 5 or 6 names that where written down I had never heard of them [ I think they originally come from Tahiti]. Didn't bother me as I am just growing for curiosity and pleasure.
I am sort of glad that only 5 germinated and got me wondering how on earth you and a few others manage with room, each seed eventually takes up as much room and needs the same care as a named cv from Charlie, as you seem to get an awful lot of seeds I could see that being a problem.
As for the plant I am quite pleased, an unusual mustard color and the bloom lasted 2 days which was nice.
