Ardesia - They are beautiful - cluster or not! June's Joy is definately on my Spring 2008 list - not to mention June's Dragon (did you see this on Matt's site?) 10" bloom - I can barely imagine! :)
Hibiscus 10/28/07 to 11/03/07
Ardesia,
Bloom is absolutely magnifico. You know I love Junes Joy. One of my favs, LoL.
I took a bunch more pics today. Lots of first time blooms, but no time to post. Hopefully, tomorrow.
Cat, your pictures are gorgeous - that Ring of Fire is something else! Dragon's Lair - well that's already on my gotta-get-it-from-Matt-as soon as it comes out list.
I don't want you to feel lonely posting, so I thought I'd join you a bit. I've been offline a lot, between working a conference and home complications *sigh*. I LOVE seeing the pictures all the time - please don't stop, I've been discussing your blooms with my currently mostly sad plants to try and cheer them up!
Okay, from the 28th, here is a four-bloom day for Cinnamon Girl, which fortunately stayed pretty protected.
Red Dragonette.
Molten Lava says "who needs leaves? i don' need no stinkin' leaves" (lol)
I can't believe this Dragon's Breath didn't fall off with the leaves.
Pele's Fountain looks pretty good except for the smashed top :-)
Black Dragon.
Cat! Robert! Look, it's my first Envie bloom!!!!!! So glad it wasn't blown off :-)
Soft Spot in front of a formerly beautiful Datura.
Voodoo Magic is an awesome plant and a quite survivor. This is the first bloom-in-a-bucket since her pot broke and the wind tossed her out and across the yard - amazing!
Simple Pleasures.
Electric Blue on Halloween.
Love Story looking very red.
Fireworks.
C'est Bon - Robert, what do you think?
Voodoo Queen appropriately out to play on Halloween.
Moonstruck really took a beating, her colors remained lovely though, even if not her flower shape...
Rosalind.
Karen,
Your pics are lovely. Yaaaaaaaaay on the Envie :)
And, my first time seeing Fireworks. What a knockout.
I have pics from yesterday and today, but a very sad event occurred.
My middle cat lost his battle to kidney failure today, so pics are not ready for posting.
Will trim, resize, and post tomorrow.
PS....Karen, I am sooooooo glad you are posting. Now, I don;t feel lonely anymore :)
Ooooo, I like Fireworks.
Oh Cat, I'm so sad to hear about your kitty! We lost our cat to the same thing about a year ago - it still breaks my heart :-( Take care...
Cat & Karen & Ardesia all are very Very Beautiful !!! Karen, It's great that Envie put on a show for you. Very pretty!!! You got me on Cest' Bon???? It may be your climate???? but we will see ;-)
Robert
Cat--so sorry to hear about your kitty! Sending big hugs your way...
My hibbies have been very un-prolific lately. I had blooms on Dragon's Breath and Double Trouble that opened about a quarter of the way and just stayed there forever, I don't think they're going to open any farther (I'm bummed about Double Trouble not opening, that one hasn't bloomed for me yet and it's a really small plant so I doubt if it's going to give me another flower anytime soon) I do have one bloom from Lost Treasure that I need to post, but that's all I've had this whole week. I guess our weather's gotten cool enough that they've decided to be lazy! I'm hoping to get my greenhouse set up this weekend, so maybe once I get them in there they'll be a little happier.
Thank you for your wishes on my kitty, Peri. I miss him, but I feel a kind of peace, knowing that he went so peacefully.
