First Bloom on New Hibiscus!

Hey all.

Thanks to those who helped with my thread "Problem with Tropical Hibiscus". This beauty opened for me this morning. I bought a total of 3 hibiscus from a nursery in central Florida: "Tahitian Princess", "City Slicker", and "Climax". Though this one was labeled as "Climax", I believe this is actually "City Slicker", and the labels must've gotten mixed. I seem to have controlled the thrips infestation, and all 3 are reporting new growth. I will post as the others produce viable blooms! Sorry for the camera-phone quality of the pictures.

pretty good camera phone! Nice bloom too!!

I'm proud of her! I can't wait to see the others. I'm excited about the "Tahitian Princess".

Me Too!!

And here she was at the end of the day yesterday. I love how the sun changes these beauties!

beautiful, have we decided on which one it is? City Slicker or Climax. I thought climax was supposed to be bright orange and yellow?

Nice "City Slicker" bloom Grantman. If you like the blooms now, just wait until you get some blooms this coming winter on a cool South Florida day with temperatures below 70. The colors will be extremely vivid and bright.

Amorecuore is correct - it is City Slicker. The tags were right; I was the one who was mixed up lol! I'm looking forward to blooms year-round, and from the other 2!

Pretty bloom & I love the change they make too. Thanks for sharing with us. Can't wait to see your others bloom.

Hugs,
Judy
