Dupont Hibiscus Pictures

I haven't made those in a long time, but I would definitely do them without the raisins. I was thinkin of making ginger snaps on Wednesday. That's one of my favorite coooookies.
Jon

those would be appreciated too!!! send them my way!

Here is one of my favorite shots:

Nice! who are we looking at? She's gorgeous.

Not from Dupont directly...

Cajun Cocktail from the other co-op.

Sunshines2day, your Cajun Cocktail is gorgeous and it sure looks different from Dee's Cajun Cocktail, it seem this ones colors patterns change with the climate change, check Guamsorbit's tread and see what I mean, your neighbors are going to think you have to different hibs during the year.

I was reading some of your past treads on hibiscus and came across one from Sept. 12, 2005, glad you finally got some tropical hibs, now you can be a regular in this forum, the more people they are, the merrier the forum is, besides more photos to share and contemplate.

Wifred,
I saw that other pic with the yellow one....I suppose it is different with such a difference in zones, the weather here has been 98 to 101 for at least 7 to 10 days then it dropped to low 90's the last 2 days. I didn't get to look at it this am but I couldn't miss it when I came home. (I have always had rosa sinesis somewhere in my garden because I am in love with them)

Linda

Well that makes two of use who loves them, would love to see more of your hib photos on the forum, this last one you posted looks gorgeous Linda.

Wilfred

that's a great shot Linda! Thanks for putting it up so I can tell the difference between yours & d's. I agree has to be the weather (heat & humidity) but they both are beautiful. I agree with Wilfred looks to be 2 different hibs. What other hibs have you got growing in Texas? I'd love to see any blooms!

Since my Cocktail does look different I double checked the tag and the writing on the pot. It is supposed to be Cocktail and it is the only one that has bloomed from these I purchased:
1 Tsunami
1 Black Dragon
1 Vermillion Queen
2 Cajun Cocktail
1 Persimmon
I'll gladly post pics when the others bloom, I think the hail really slowed them down.

Can't wait to seem them, you have a nice collection.

Acadian Spring 7-7-09

Super "Acadian Spring" chuck. Looks like there's some Amaryllis foliage in the vicinity?

Opening progression of an Acadian Spring bloom this morning.
Began photos at 8:15 til 11:00 AM.

I loved that you were able to capture the opening. Great shots & the sequencing is very cool!

Swamp Music Double this morning.

That's a very different looking "Swamp Music" bloom. Mine have always been a bit darker. When I quickly looked at it I was gonna guess it was "Voodoo Queen".

I don't know the name, but it's doubling my pleasure.

Nice photo possum. Was that the hibiscus you were getting quite a bit of bud drop on or is this the hibiscus that was on the left in your previous photo?

This is the bigger better plant. There's a bud on the other plant, I'm hoping it make's it open, so I can get an I.D. on it maybe.

Nice doubles chuck & possum. Chuck is your plant in the ground or potted?
I can't tell if your plant is one or two colors possum, but it sure is a nice healthy looking plant.

I have all mine in the ground. Will dig em for winter storage. Have too on the patio now. The garage becomse the greenhouse in the winter.............
