Wow, Patrick & Donna, I love Honey Do. The others are great too. Thanks for sharing.

Hi John,

Firehouse seems to be okay now, but it took awhile to get use to our climate (I guess). For the first couple months every bloom was missing the pads, it had plenty of pollen but just no pads. Now it seems to have adapted and is blooming fine with pads, the flower doesn't lay flat for us it has kind of a ruffle look which to me makes it look great.



Patrick

Thanks for your comments Judy

That is very, very, very pretty, Patrick & Donna. Of course I like the pinks but the "crepe paper" edges are wonderful in this bloom. Thanks for sharing.

Judy

Like always Patrick, your bloom are gorgeous, wonder what your neighbors say when they see them.

Wilfred

Thanks Wilfred,
The neighbors really don't see them they are in the back yard and it is fenced in (privacy fence), but I do bring them out front to show them off. Lexie gives flowers to the neighbors. I only let her pull the ones that don't set seed well.


Patrick

So tell me what the neighbors say when they receive such gorgeous blooms from such a gorgeous little princess, they must really like them I imagine, I know I would.

Wilfred

Hi Wilfred,

When she gives them out they don't know what they are called, and when we tell them hibiscus they usually respond by saying they didn't know they came in those colors.

Thanks for the info on " Fire House" Patrick.. I have been looking for a nice bright solid red.
