Beautiful, all of them! I believe your double white is White Kalakua aka Elephant Ear and Butterfly is the single bloom. Butterball is a double. You can find that first one on Martindales sight. Keep on posting those great pics.

Love that Ocean Spray. All of them are pretty.

I had a couple blooming yesterday.

and Hot Bikini....

I just bought the Butterfly and Ocean Spray at the AHS show in Bellaire last June. Those are the first blooms for me. I noticed a bit ago that Paper Moon is getting ready to bloom in a week or so, as well as a couple more HD/Kroger unknowns.

Anne, your Elephant Ear and Ocean Spray are very pretty! Brugie, great pics, your Hot Bikini is looking great & glowing! Mine bloomed yesterday too, but I didn't get to take its pic until early evening yesterday, when I returned from the HVH show. Here's the crispy-edged pic though ;-) This cultivar doesn't seem to be too fond of constant over 100 temperatures.

I had blooms on a couple Cajuns yesterday.

Here's Cajun Blue.

Voodoo Queen twins (not a very good pic though)

And, Gator Pride.

Aunt Anne, I wonder if your first one is Powder Puff. Ocean Spray is such an odd looking one. I like it! You have so many nice ones.

Karen, I really want Cajun Blue, such an odd color.

Powder Puff

Kell, your picture of Powder Puff is prettier than Monrovia's.

I don't think these flower of the day threads are a good idea. They make me want every one I see. LOL

I don't think so Kell, the pics that I see of Powder Puff indicate some pink around the middle. Mine are pure white. No pink at all. Someone gave a name in an earlier post, I haven't had time to check that one yet. Here is a pic that I just took. Compare it to the ones that Monrovia has on their site.

Maybe your double white is "Katlyn". Strictly Hibiscus has that one and it looks like a possibility. http://www.strictlyhibiscus.com/product_info.php?cPath=53&products_id=260
