Georgia's Thunder
Chinese Lantern
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You REALLY should post these to the Rum Runner PlantFiles pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are stunning photos!!
I wanted some pics this morning but when I went outside I saw there weren't any blooms today ... just lots of green leaves. Except of course, for my Schizo which has a bloom laying on the ground so that wouldn't be pretty!!
Love the pics!!!!!!!
Well, what do you know! You posted a Schizo, too! Pretty pic ...
Mon Ami
Hey Amanda
I think I will post to plant files. Especially some of the cultivars that there are no pics of.
Cajun Princess
Hot Bikini
Cajun Blue
Yuletide
Hurricane Lily
Bridal Veil
You sure have some beauties!
I have a couple of the Wind girls in bloom, but we have seen them, so I'll just add this one. Cool It.
Robert, your pictures are wonderful. Rum Runner and Mon Ami catch my eye.
This is what greeted me this morning. Obviously I had a hungry deer visiting last night.
:-((((
This one used to be my Tarantella which I was supposed to give to my DIL last weekend. At the last minute I couldn't part with it and see what happened because I was so selfish.
Awwwww ... it'll bounce back.
ardesia, that is too bad. I'm surprised the deer left a few big leaves. Hopefully the new growth will come in even stronger. I hope the deer don't become a big problem for your hibiscus.
Well, it needed a bit of pruning anyway but once that last bud opens that will be it for a while since they only bloom on new wood.
It must have been unusually hungry or a baby deer. Normally they do not come into the middle of the garden because I have a dog and they pick up his scent. They do browse around the outside of the garden outside of the Invisible Fence line that keeps the dog in.
It (or they) hit a few others too but they only got the buds onthe others.
It's them rotten teenagers!!! lol
They got real brave @ my house & got on my deck! Can you believe the nerve of some children! Stripped on white Tx Star, one yellow H, 5 tomato plants, 3 columbines, & some other stuff. Stepped right on my rain lilys to get on the deck.
Time for more chicken wire!!!
Good grief, that is pretty bad.
You sound so serious! & eating my plants is serious but I did mean teenage deer! Just to verify! lol
I'm a city girl that bought a house on 2 acres. It came with a well & a septic. But no one ever mentioned I might have a problem with deer eating my plants!
I'm beginning to think I need to sell my stock in SW Airlines & Krispy Kremes & invest in a chicken wire company! lol
I'm so excited, I finally have some pics to post! I haven't had any since we started doing what's blooming today (well, OK , my double red Celia blooms almost every day, but I already have a million pics of it so I don't take them anymore!).
Here's Ring of Fire (technically this one was blooming yesterday, but I didn't get around to transferring the pics to the computer until today)
And here's 'Lady Bug'. This one bloomed for me once before, but the bloom never opened fully and there was a lot more orange on it, this time it's fully open, and it's mostly red with some yellow spots. If it didn't have a tag on it, I wouldn't think it was the same plant!
Hey Liz, those are both really pretty - I especially like Lady Bug :-)
Ardesia, terrible about the deer, that would make me so frustrated!!
Brugie, that one is called Cool It? That is super pretty.
Robert, the soft coloring on Cajun Princess is really unique, and I love (covet, I'm going to HAVE to get this one) that Georgia's Thunder - it's just so unusual!
Today I've got a really blue colored Electric Blue...
Mango Tango has another bright cheery bloom.
Mini Ballerina has a new bloom, but I wish the pink in the middle would show more...
I've had a double from Rum Runner, but I'm almost embarrassed to post the pic, as Robert's shot absolutely takes the cake today!
Belle de Jour
Liz and Karen, those are all gorgeous blooms. I really like the Mini Ballerina. Karen, "Cool It" is her name. She came from Matt Martindale.
And my prettiest bloom for today is Black Dragon...
Have a great evening,
karen
Another Martindale beauty, wow! Do you think they're still selling, or do you guys know if they're sold out for the season?
They've still got some stuff--I just emailed them last weekend about a couple I was interested in, they were out of two of them but the other 3 that I wanted will be ready to ship in a couple weeks (Black Dragon's one of the ones I'm getting...I'm so excited, I've been looking everywhere for it and everyone's been out of stock!)
I love Belle de Jour too, that one's really pretty!
Liz, you are gonna love Black Dragon!
I can't wait to get it, I've been drooling over everyone else's pics of it for months! Well, I've been drooling over a lot of things, but that one especially! It's going to be a couple weeks before it's ready to ship though so I guess I'll have to be patient for a little while longer.
I'd really like to order at least a Wallflower & Black Voodoo from them :-)
So many hibiscus, so little money, lol!
I know the feeling! I just find them so hard to resist though!
