Another cheery one in bloom

Bon Temps

I love how it has stayed cupped like this. But I have seen other photos where it is flat and the color a bit different.

Very bright and pretty! I like the sideways shot :-)

kell wonderful colors, as for the cupping, some hybrids cup in hot weather "Hot Ticket" is always cupping like this in the heat of summer.Flattens out in cooler weather.

Good to know, Kyle. You are so smart! I had no clue. The colors are very bright on this one. Big flowers too.

I went to the Marin Farmers' Market to see David yesterday. He is such a nice guy. I got 2 more hibiscus. One is kind of like Bon Temps. I need to go look at the name. The other I have wanted since last year, Black Dragon. I can't wait till the bud opens!! I have seen so many special blooms of that one on here.

David sells out early. His is a popular stall. Hard to walk by these huge blooms!

Here he is yesterday.

Kell, you are so fortunate to live up there with all the magnificent plant vendors and outdoor markets. You're gonna love Black Dragon. I'm such a Black Dragon piggy that I've got two - one in a pot and one in the ground :-)

About the cupped flowers, I'm noticing that The Color Purple does the same in high heat. Here's today's bloom, almost looking like color pink ;-)

Hi Kell,

Just to let you know my Bon Temp is exactly the same way, I dont know what it is but they never fully open

Hey, no mention of what a good looking guy he is??? Ok, just kidding. I'm crawling back into my hole now!

Hey David, I think you should bring a plant market/show down to So Cal :-)
