I can vouch that hibiscus make a great Mother's Day present. I just ordered 5 from Matt at The Hibiscus Place for my Mother's Day present. He's mailing them out the early part of next week--I can't wait. These are my first mail order tropical hibiscus.

Jon, these pictures are wonderful. I've always admired Nightfire from pictures on the web and thought I'd like to add a deep purple/deep pink to my want list. You have several there that are really striking colors that I don't normally like but they sure are pretty (Cinnamon Girl & Big Boss). I also like the one you took at nightfall. Would love to see a shot of all your hibbies by the poolside. You can barely see a glimpse of it in a couple of pictures.

Curious to know how old your echies are? Is this the first season you've had them? I hear that those cultivars are hard to grow or rather don't do well and often don't come back the next year. I've admired them, but haven't wanted to spend the money cause I don't always have good luck with echineceas.

Here's my first pink daylily 'Tootsie Rose'. What a name for such a pretty colored day lily. I do believe it will get better shaped with age; this is its first bloom for me.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!
