Wow, nice blooms. Mine aren't setting buds right now. Can it get too hot for hibiscus?
I had two or three blooming today. I don't remember the name of this one, but it was a gift from Kyle.
Next is an ugly Cherry Appaloosa. Staying very cupped.
Midnight Moon
and my last one for today....Smokey Mountain. This is such a faithful bloomer.
Shoot, I missed a couple..Erin Rachael
Tangerine Dream through a fogged up lens. She also isn't blooming like she did in cooler weather.
Gator Pride. Always pretty.
Cat, your Nightfire has great colors, I really like it! Also, the more I see these Capitola flowers from you, the more I like them particularly the peach shot.
Brugie, your Kyle flower is neat, with that variegated foliage. I also like Smokey Mountain and your Gator Pride. Isn't it nice to have bushes that bloom consistently?
I've got a bunch from both yesterday and today. I think today is my prettiest "group" day so far, I was so excited when I went out first thing today to see all the bright pink and orange (yeah, yeah, gaudy, I know, lol)!
First from yesterday, I caught Hot Bikini in her morning glory before her little edges got crispy. I just love the "neon-ness" of this flower!
Next up is another lovely bloom from Mango Tango.
Rosalind is fluffy.
Rum Runner is so prolific and blooms almost every day.
Cinnamon Girl is another bloom-a-day-er...
Erin Rachael had four beautiful blooms yesterday.
My last Saturday orange is Molten Lava - I really like this plant. After my lack of success (and probably mismarked) with last year's, I'm so glad I decided to replace it, as I've been so happy with this plant.
Potted Black Dragon, always one of my top favorites.
Electric Blue is another very consistent bloomer.
This is a close-up of The Color Purple. I wish this one would open a little better, but I imagine it will when it's not over 100 every day (yuck!). I'm into the color of this one.
And, my favorite bloom for Saturday is Dragon's Breath.
Sunday is a new beautiful day. First up with the lucious Strawberry Fields Forever.
I think everything has already been said...but here's another WOW!! from me. Gorgeous pictures. Do your plants have full sun, partial, what? I have some in full sun and some in morning sun and they all seem to bloom about the same.
Gabriel has his second bloom today, I'm so excited!
Voodoo Queen has triplets today.
Creole Darlin' has a double bloom. The hot pink with darker eye color on this is magnificent.
Cajun Blue has two mini blooms today.
I think Electric Blue loves the excessive heat here.
And the last shot for me today is a group picture of a bunch of bright blooms together on the left side of my sitting area (lol, plant area). The Brug is Velvet Rose and the blooming Plumeria is Kauka Wilder. I was hoping the Big Easy (next to Creole Darlin') would open up by now, but it looks like maybe not today...
What a beautiful weekend, now if it only weren't so darn hot!

The color purple knocks my socks off! I know what you mean about the heat. It was 96 today, and, it actually felt cool! We even got sprinkles, for about 30 seconds, lol!
My cajuns are all still getting used to their new home. Since I moved them into a shady area, with glimpses of the sun all day, they are looking a whole heck of alot better.
Also rearranged Gator and Madeline. Madeline likes full sun, and gator only likes some sun.
