All gorgeous Jon just gorgeous, all your hibs have such vivid color to them, love every single one of them.
I didn't know there was a fourth Voodoo hib out there, only new about "Voodoo Magic", "Voodoo Queen", "Funny Voodoo" now there's "Black Voodoo", how many Voodoo Hibs are there, and it seems all are so beautiful at that too.

Wow, love those! I've been eyeing Suede Buttons for awhile.

Wilfred, I have a Voodoo Doll...another in the 'Voodoo' series but haven't seen a bloom yet.

Nice hib's Jon. Hibiscus "Eye Of Kali really has nice color doesn't it. Are your temp's cooling any right now? We are back in the high 90's today.

Thanks Wilfred, Dee and Patty. I believe there are 5 "Voodoo" hibiscus if my memory is correct. I have Voodoo Magic, Funny Voodoo and Black Voodoo. I used to have Voodoo Queen. Suede Buttons is a good bloomer, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as a mini bloom or just a small bloom. The blooms are about 4-5 inches. Eye Of Kali has great coloration around the "eye" of the bloom. I've had it since April, I believe, and the coloration in the blooms keeps getting better and better. I'm interested to see the coloration in "Eye Of Kali" when the weather cools.

It's still above normal temps here Patty with highs in the low 90's and lows around 80. We're supposed to get our first cold front of the season on Friday. The temps Saturday and Sunday morning are supposed to a frigid 65. LOL

Hey Jon, thanks for giving us such a wonderful parade of beautiful blooms. There is not an ugly step child in the bunch. Think I like Black Voodoo, Eye of Kali & Creme De La
Creme best.....but I would be proud to own any of them. Your pix are fantastic too. Thanks for sharing with us.
