These are beautiful! The only Hibiscus I have tried are the hardy type. I love the colors and petal style of yours. Someday I will have a greenhouse I can over-winter some in as well as brugs. Thanks for sharing. Marie

I want one of each! LOL. They are all great. You are one lucky man to have such beauty!

Glad you like them. Today I bought 16 new hibiscus liners. Within a month or so I'll have new blooms to share.
This one bloomed today. Its name, Isobel Beard.

Well shoot, I just came across this thread again looking for something and I must say they are all fantastic. Even more so a second time around.

I need Colorin' Book and Sassi to be happy again. And which one is the second one from the bottom? I need that one too. LOL

I want to come live on your balcony, Carlo.

Kell, all of them are identified. I guess you talk about Isobel Beard. Few months ago I opened a thread with this one and you commented into it. The bloom isn't big.

Carlos, You are an enabler! Every time you show us those beautiful flowers I want to order more and more myself.
They are all beauties; I particularly love Colorin' Book.

Vancleave, MS(Zone 8b)

wow just beautiful, all of them

Austin, TX(Zone 8b)

I am glad that this thread got bumped.
Carlos you have beautiful hibiscus on your balcony. I too want them all for myself! You have quite a collection of them. They are all so beautiful, I am sure you get lots of enjoyment out of them. Thanks for sharing with us and I hope you share more when you can. The El Capitolio looks fascinating, it is so unique and such a pretty deep red. I like all the colors in the colorin' book and the ruffles on it make it look fancy. Gator's Pride is also owned by WillowWasp and she has posted her pics of it on here. I love that one! Seminole Pride is gorgeous too, I want one. I want em all!!! LOL.

Carlos, You have such a beautiful variety of blooms, and I'm really impressed that they all have names! (smiling) Have you ever posted a picture of your entire balcony? I'm really curious about the arrangement and display of your plants.

I'm so fortunate to live in a part of the country that has Hibiscus year round. It is my favorite (along with Bougainvillae) and I always seem to come home with one every time I go plant "looking". They are all in pots because I can't dig, but I love that I can move them around and show off the heavy bloomers when it's their time. Thanks for shareing!

Pati, I don't remember if I sent a pic of how my plants are arranged. Here you have two old pics. I closed half the balcony with polycarbonate sheets to have the plants there as we can get -10 ºC in Winter.

OMG Carlo05 I do believe you like your Hibiscus. Here I thought I was obsessed with them. I don't have anything that nearly comes close to yours. They are beautiful. You are one lucky guy. Now you place all these outside for the summer?

Red Oak, NC(Zone 7b)

so many pretty hibbys! Thanks for sharing.

Ocean Springs, MS(Zone 8b)

All very lovely, I really like Hilo Island, I will have to find that one.

New Iberia, LA(Zone 9a)

Gorgeous Blooms! I've just added to my wants list. I love all the whites, especially Fourth of July and High Voltage. Keep the pictures coming!

Fort Pierce, FL(Zone 10a)

WOW Carlos! I don't think I've ever seen such a marvelous use of space. It is obviously a labor of love. When I lived further south in Miami they were used in hedges, etc., and I just took them for granted as part of the landscape. Here you see them more as individual plants. It's amazing how quickly you can become addicted to them! Thanks so much for the pictures.

At least I am consistent Carlos even if a ditz. LOL!

I LOVE them!!!
