Great photos. I love them all. Melon Mania is outstanding..

Gorgeous, just gorgeous Patrick, love them all, Patrick you mite want to mark the branch were the smaller lighter colored "Briar Patch" came from to see if that branch keeps blooming this way, if so you mite have a "Briar Patch" mutation on that part of the plant, if so you can take a cutting from that branch and have a totally new differrent plant from Briar Patch, I think they call it a sport, so I think you would have to call it "Briar Patch Sport", ether way its worth the try since the lighter color tone looks beautiful on her and both of them look good together.

Patrick, are these from your $5 T&T purchases? What a good buy that was!

No, most of those was 7.50 from Randy. Except Fallen Hero, which was from HVH and it was 29. We order alot from Randy, he sent us an email last week about the 5.00 special. We ordered from the Dupont coop and they were microscopic compared to the ones we received from Randy. A couple of Randy's have blooms on them. I will post pictures as soon as they open.

Really a feast for the eyes!! Thanks for sharing.

I really like the color (very cool looking vs darker ones) & the texture add to make Melon Mania a winner. Briar Patch is right up my alley, it's going on my "want" list now! Something about the colors in that one, it's eye catching & unique.

Nice blooms Patrick. All I can say is "Go Briar Patch Go". Wicked. Sounds like a few others knew about and ordered from the $5.00 tried and true special. I only ordered two and, man oh man, did their list of available cultivators shrink in a hurry. It must have been a hibiscus feeding frenzy.
