Greetings fellow Hibiscusians,
Many of you have a nice collection of plants and I enjoy the photos and postings here on this forum. I too have a expanding collections of hardy hibiscus varieities some of which I have created through crosses of my own. To share with you what's blooming now I created a photo gallery at the link below. It was easier that posted each pic one by one. This is peak flower season for hibiscus so I look forward to seeing more of everyone's photos.

Opps, I sorry about that. I've changed it so you can view it now. If you have a problem let me know.
Beauty flowers! I like Hibiscus 'Lord Baltimore'.

NC this is great. I love your photos. Is a disco belle white the same as a King Kooper?
Linda
Very beautiful pics!
Very, very beautiful.
Hi Linda,
'Disco Belle' white, red and pink varieties are cultivars of the U.S. native H. moscheutos. In the wild this species varies from solid white to dark pink, but the most common coloured flower is white with red "eye".
'Kopper King' is a cross between H. moscheutos and H. coccineus. Growing about
3-4' tall this cultivar has copper-red lobed, maple-like leaves. Flowers are light pink with red veining and a bright red central eye. The hybrid is a introduction from the Fleming Brothers of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I will have new varieties in bloom within the next week. I will post a link the the gallery here when they are ready.
