Whirligig
in her new home. She loves it in the shade!
Oh wow, they are all so pretty; I love the Whirlygig and I think Green Shadow is going to be very special too. I can't wait until my Campfire Girl blooms that color again. I was getting the baby "you know what" greenish tint on my flowers, thank goodness for warm weather again. LOL..
Great pictures!! Karen - I didn't know Rum Runner had a petaloid - how pretty! I've been wanting one of those! Wow with Holly's Pride Alice - does the bloom hold up well on the plant? Cat stunning collection as always - I really like Barry Schlueter (sigh - I miss him here!!) - My Simple Pleasures is going thru some stress - I'm praying it makes it - our weather is warming nicely and there's still green in the stems etc. so hopefully it'll perk up soon! What a beautiful display of hibbies gals!!
Gosh shopper, I just want to say *gotcha* LOL; you are hooked like the rest of us now.
Surprisingly, that Holly's Pride flower did stand up which, considering it's size, was unusual. Normally the flowers are smaller on that one for me.
Good luck with your Simple Pleasures, I bet it will bounce right back for you.
WOW!!! All are so beautiful!!!
Alice, both Zoey and Black Dragon are lovely. It's gonna be a while before my BD blooms again, so I can look at yours with total envy!!
Cat, simply gorgeous as always!! I can hardly pick a favorite, although I think it's Whirligig - that's a beauty! I'm so anxious for my Green Shadow to bloom, yours looks great. So glad you posted your pics, I've missed seeing them lately - I think I might be addicted to hibiscus ;-)
Okay Robert, where are your blooms - I'm so in love with those group shots you've been posting!
Ultimateshopper, so glad you've joined our club of hibiscus junkies ;-) For your plant stress, if the plant is just not waking up for spring as quickly as it might, you could try the Wake-Up Spray sold by www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com. A lot of my plants have been going through the same thing and I've been using that spray by the ton - it really does help. I used it last year too...karen
Stunning pics! Where do you guys buy your plants? I want to try one.

I get almost all of mine from one of these three places: www.hibiscusplace.com , www.hypnoticblooms.net , and www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com Also in case you didn't know, most of the ones people post pics of around here are tropicals so you'll have to bring them in for the winter. There are some species of hardy hibiscus too, but they don't come in nearly the range of colors that the tropicals do.
Awesome pictures, you all. I'm still in love with Curly Top. My hibiscus didn't do well over the winter. It was a big disappointment. I'll see if I can hold over those that survived, again this winter, and if I get it all figured out, I'll start again.

AWESOME!
Echoing Liz's suggestion, I get all my hibiscus from those three places as well :-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of Hibiscus addiction ;-)

Brugie,
Do you need our help in reviving your babies? What is going on with them?
Cat
Cat, they are past reviving. It's called DEAD! LOL! It's okay. I really had more than I could take care of anyway. Thanks tho. I'm sure I'll yell for help this fall.
