#1

#2 single yellow

#3 double apricot

#4 double pink

#5 Orange

#6 deep red

#7 Black Dragon

#8 I got this last year from TessC. Her daughter was selling them for some org. and they had some left over and I got one. It was labeled 847, red with white spots, it was slow to bloom but in the last week I have had 2 to 3 blooms every day.

#9 This is a small orange

#10 double yellow

#11 ??

#12 This one I just love the color of the leaves.

#13 braided trunk tree. It was a little slow about putting on a lot of blooms I would only have 2 or 3 a day. Then finally this week it has been going strong. 15 to 20 a day.

#14 This is the single trunk tree. I had to trim it back last fall in order to get it in the GH. I didn't think either one of my trees were going to put a show on like they did last year. But finally in the last week with the temp. in the triple digits they started. This one has between 20 and 30 blooms a day. Just regular watering, and weekly feeding of Peters 20-20-20.

#15 Another picture of the single trunk tree.

#16 The last one I think. This is a picture of my Hibiscus rock garden, I think there is close to about 25 sitting in there. The last couple of days it has been really pretty. It keeps me busy dead heading blooms and picking off the yellow leaves. But when they reward you with beautiful blooms you just know it is all worth it.

Beautiful plants and trees!
Very healthy looking, good job especially for your zone.

Lookin good ! don't ya just love when they all start blooming.I just wish it would cool off enough to start crossing some.too hot now.

Wow, great pictures. I love those trees.

The rain was a big help. It rained off and on Saturday evening and then Sunday morning until around noon. Nothing hard just the slow dizzle like rain. The kind that can do good.

Thanks for the compliments you have made me feel good. I know I enjoy the heck out of them.

How gorgoeus! Dont you just love it when all your hard work pays off? Love that double pink!

Just beautiful - GREAT eye-candy! Very attentive gardening, 2pugs (I have a DD home that waters for me while I'm at work) - I've been eye-balling that Black Dragon...... hope they are plentiful next spring... it's really striking... well, they all are, aren't they! Gorgeous!

2pugs, your hibiscus area is beautiful!! I really like those trees too :-) Every time I see one at a nursery, I'm so tempted!!!!

Thanks for sharing your lovely pics :-)

The braided tree I got at Lowes three years ago. The single trunk I got from Dillon at the end of summer for a little of nothing. I was shopping and they had it outside about to die, and I asked the floral girl if they were going to reduce it. She said he hadn't heard anything from the company but if I wanted it I could have it for ??, it's been three years and I can't remember what I paid for it. But I think they were going for $50 or $60. And that could be high, the older I get the less I remember.

What was that, Linda? The older you get.....what? LOL I've seen some tree forms at our Dillons, they are s l o w l y croaking from neglect.... maybe I can snag one cheap.. I did have one last year, but lost it over winter...

yea just go in and ask if they are going to mark them down, because they are drying out there, and you know you could bring them around. When I got mine home the first thing I did to it was to mix some h202 and water and water the tree really good then the next day I transplanted it and waited a week then I fertilized it by only using half of the amount, then the following week I did the same thing. Then I started only doing it once a month regular strength.

Oh, my gosh, like I NEED another tropical hibiscus... but I'll ask about a discount... It wouldn't really count if it was discounted by at least 75%, right?

AuntB, you always NEED more hibiscus!!!

Glad to enable ;-)
