And, last for Sunday:
Stolen Kiss

Nice nice nice nice, Cat!

I know it's not technically the weekend anymore, but since it's almost 9:30 Pacific time, I figured there weren't going to be enough blooms for today to make a whole new thread so I figured I'd throw mine in here

Magnifique

Liz,
Spectacular!!!

All are so spectacular. Thanks so much! I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to look here and drool like I usually do. You guys sure do not disappoint!

Wow, Liz!!!!

Wow, Cat! Stunning blooms this weekend! I'm torn on which ones I like the best - great Voodoo Magic and Gator Pride pics; I love the color of your Gabriel, much different than my blooms so far. And your Blueberry Thrill, I swear I'm going to fly to Florida and steal your plant ;-)

Liz, your Magnifique is well..Magnifique!! Beautiful colors :-)

I hope I'm not too late to the party, I've been offline for a few days doing bad wind clean up. I had a giant Blue Dawn morning glory trellis that went completely over onto the sitting area where I keep the majority of my hibiscus and plumeria. I had no idea morning glories could be so invasive. I had a couple at our last house in pots, and didn't expect it to take over my yard once planted in the yard in this house. Sheesh, what a total mess!! The good news is that miraculously none of my other plants were damaged. I thought for sure I'd have tons of things crushed, and told my DH that with this event, it's obvious that God doesn't think I have too many hibiscus ;-) LOL, working wind damage to my advantage as a hibiscus junkie...

Here's some pics I snapped this weekend after pulling the broken trellis off of everything - Voodoo Queen

Belle de Jour.

Cinnamon Girl had four blooms, and was fortunately in a different area of the yard.

Here's a wind-munched Black Dragon.

Allure.

Had four Palm Springs beauties, but they're pretty wind blown.

Soft Spot.

My last bloom is my favorite from the weekend of heavy wind. Time for Magic - loving the colors, and I'm sure the bloom would have been shaped nicer if not for wind.

Gorgeous, Karen!!

Karen,
Did the bee come free on your time for magic? The clarity is amazing!

PS...love your time for magic and allure. I gave in and ordered another allure, as mine has still not even come close to recovering from the floods. I have blooms on Black Dragon ready to open, but I have no clue what kind of damage the winds might have caused. Should find out tomorrow.
Lots of buds happening now. Getting excited to see some different blooms.
