A new bloom for me called "Chartruse Rose"

A little different than I expected. I bought it sight unseen. Glad I did!

Very pretty! I really like these "odd" colored ones. This cultivar reminds me quite a bit of Time for Magic :-)

Great pic!

Your absolutely right!

Really, look at this Time for Magic pic from two days ago...

WOW! Pretty much Identical. I picked this up at Dupont.

Interesting, I wonder if it's the same cultivar with different names?? I got mine from HVH, but it was hybridized by Tim and Linda Miller, with the parents being 5th Dimension and Magician's Hat.

Doesn't Dupont usually only sell his own hybrids?? Or not?

Since you have a nursery, you don't by any chance, sell online do you?

This is Duponts hybrid but Tuesday he told me he was growing NightFire and he was putting out Rum Runner again. But this is Identical to Time for Magic. I will find out who the parents are. And the answer to your 2nd question is yes. I just dont talk much about it here. I would usually just sell for local pick-up but the demand got to be so great that I decided to start shipping. The site is www.hypnoticblooms.com

I was looking at yours. It does look like the leaves are different but I can only see a couple of yours. What do you think?

Aha! So, there was a method to the madness!

Nope no method I just love em. Collect collect and more collect. Its a hard habit to break once you start. I am an addict as everyone else LOL!!!

Hi Gordo,

Just wanted to show you my DEADLY VICIOUS GUARD DOG. She is the guardian of the Hibbies!!!

That's some bad hat, Harry! LOL!

I see your guard's nose couldn't avoid a powerful left hook! Very scary!

Here's my yard punk...

Well actually she was in a high speed persuit of a trespasser and they just stopped, well she was going so fast her brakes failed and you can see the rest of the story.

Robert your guard dog is absolutely terrifying, especially with the little pink hat ;-) Obviously we'd have to find something more tempting than t-bone steaks to get past that monster! Gordo your "yard punk" is very cute too.

Here's a pic of my vicious guardian, busily protecting home and yard from the comfort of "her" chair. Presenting Sadie, hell-hound extraordinaire ;-) My DH "lovingly" calls her Cujo, lol.

LOL LOL LOL!!!!

Geez, Amarantha...two whole teeth! Deadly!!! LOL!!!

Oh you get to buy yourself all those hibiscus as a business expense.............................. no fair!! LOL. I will have to bookmark your store for the spring, Robert!

Here is my mean watchdog. She is just vicious. Her bite is much worse than her bark so beware.

Oh I forgot to add, Karen, does yours have pink heart like Robert's?

Hrmph!! Sadie DOES have all her teeth, she's just not much for showing them off. Neither her bark (seldom) nor bite (never, unless it's meat from the grill) will keep bad guys at bay. She may well lick you to death though... I like to say she's a lover, not a fighter :-) She's definitely neither the Rambo nor the Einstein of dogs, but she has enough personality for a whole pack of labs!

Our house was burglarized a year and a half ago, and they got in through the laundry room in the backyard. I suppose Sadie gave them plenty of love as they were crawling through the window...

Kell, is your watchdog Siamese?? Super vicious looking pose - if I was a burglar I'd stop dead in my tracks, lmao!!

Sadie doesn't have a pink hat (although I can see that she probably NEEDS one), but she had a pink sparkly Paul Frank collar and leash for a while before DH couldn't take it anymore, lmao!! In the past she's also had a pink collar with spikes to add to her already vicious demeanor.

Since Sadie is popular dog-about-town, she also dresses up every Halloween (of course) and was a lovely Minnie Mouse this past year. Don't mind the new poo behind her, at least she was dainty enough to do it before we put her in the dress ;-)

Sadie's "real mommy" (I'm the grandma), is DD Alice in Wonderland, who is obviously much more vicious than guard-dog Minnie Mouse.

Here Miss Wonderland (Alyssa), poses with best friend Kassie, the zombie groupie (wearing Alyssa's "normal" clothes).

We're tough here in San Bernardino - oh no, don't y'all doubt it!

Ok, here's "Tuni", my ferocious guard dog, with her nemesis "puppicat"

Oh my gosh, what a cute shot!! I can see they are very happy together :-) Isn't it nice how crazy plant people, are also often crazy pet people too?

Here's one I took of the whole family, 2 days ago. Extremely ferocious bunch. As you can see, they are very keen and observant, from their hunting station (aka cat condo)

oh foo, forgot the picture!
