Oh Eyes...I coulda sent you a rooted cutting of snow queen........
Eyes, they are all beautiful. Can't wait to see your yard this summer.
I could have sent you snow queen as well. How could you resist cotton candy? It went to the top of my hibiscus wish list.
This is the first order.........I have to decide where to put Cotton Candy.........I want something as special as a couple of them to be specimen plants, and right now I haven't got a place prepared for them. CC, Ronna, sorry I didn't know. But, it's kewl........at these prices I'll have all I want in a couple of months......did I say all I want........yeah, like thet's true.........I'm a gardener, aren't I????

I have a double peach, but don't know if it is named.
My Double Peach bit the dust 4 years ago when it was sooo blasted hot and dry!!

eyes...I've been collecting hardy hibiscus seeds for a few months now. I'm trying to learn all I can as I just love the blooms. Where can you order these beautiful plants you're showing ? Are these hardy ?
Those are all tropicals....
Beautiful!!!
ALL PRETTY BUT I LIKE #2 THE BEST
Me too, Dori! Wish I could get more now.........oh well just have to wait for June!

Ronna,
Do you have a picture of your double peach?
I have been wishing for Cotton Candy for some time. Sure wish I knew how to take cuttings as my double peach is about 4 years old and if I lost it - would be nice to have a backup!

TLC, I don't have a picture of my double peach. I'm going to try to keep the digital camera home more this summer, and take pictures to get me through the winter! I took some cuttings from my double peach and stuck them in a glass of water. I haven't paid much (ok, any!) attention to them, other than making sure that the glass doesn't get empty. Mine was getting too big, and it started out braided, but I hadn't kept up with it, so it was too woody to braid. At least some of the cuttings have rooted, I can see the roots. I need to pull them out and pot them up, but it's easier to find a place for a glass of water than several MORE pots.
What length did you cut? I presume you cut the newest growth? Rooting hormone? Maybe someone else can give more info.
thanks Ronna!
