Blooms for 11/4 through 11/10/07

I don't know if it's worth starting a whole new thread when I only have one picture, but I'm sure someone else will come along with a bunch!

Antique Treasure

Well, here's one . . first bloom today, 8.5", Susan Schlueter x Byron Metts . . no name yet. Anyone want to offer a name? If I use it I'll send you a plant to trial for a couple of years . .
This image has on it the name "Street of Dreams" but I decided not to use that name for this flower, so feel free to offer suggestions . .

peace,
Barry

Oops. I had put "Street of Dreams " onto the image but I don't like that name for it so that will NOT be its name. The database has ???????? in the Name Field.

Barry's Beauty

Thanks, Janet. I'll consider that name. I like using alliteration for names . . like Powder Puff Pink . .
;-)
here is the image without that bogus name on the photo . .

Barry

Very pretty! I'm going to have to put on my thinking cap and see if I can come up with a good name for it!

Susan's Sunset?

Very nice Barry!!! Has the sunset look. Susan's Sunset could be a possibility.

Golden sun!

Coral Springs. Granted, that's a town in Florida, but wha the heck?

Sailor's Delight

as in red sky at night Sailor's Delight.

Either Sonraybu or Bonraysu

Say, you folks are good at this! Susan will help me decide today or tomorrow (she has been out of town visiting our grandchild.)
thanks,
Barry

Today was a good hibiscus day! Nothing that hasn't bloomed before, but I did have new blooms on several plants. And I found what I think are seed pods forming on Purple Magic and Fragile Moment. Of course I have no idea what the other parent of the seeds would have been since I haven't done any on-purpose crossing, I'll have to look back through my pictures and see who else was located close to those and was blooming the same days.

Here's a new one on Antique Treasure (I'm liking this one more and more every time it blooms, it's quickly becoming one of my favorites)

Simple Pleasures

Magnifique (this one's just getting started, may be even prettier tomorrow!)

Space Oddity

Zoey

Celia

And a second new bloom on Antique Treasure

ecrane, those are beautiful blooms!!!

Very Nice Ecrane!!! If I had to pick 1 it would be Antique Treasure but all of them are beautiful!!!

Great looking pictures. Mine are so sad right now, even under light. I hope I don't lose them.

Barry - "Hearts a Melting" because it definately has that affect on me. What a fab. flower with that vibrant eye color that just melts into that lovely lighter yellow color!

Names....... I'm into S names today.
Sunshine On My Shoulders
Sunrise-Sunset (one name)
Spiffy Girl
Spontaneous Combustion
Solar Burst

I think it shoud be tequilla sunrise

Hi Barry,
Looks like you have your hands full on choices here. Good Luck to all that are suggesting names. I did have the honor of seeing this bloom in person and it is a true Beauty!!!

Robert

A couple to speak of today

"Purple Magic" took on a new look today

"Sassy Girl"

And my favorite for the day

"Amazon Queen"

Love that Sassy Girl, Robert. Amazon Queen is a real beauty too. Great pictures.

Those are all really pretty--I'm having trouble picking a favorite! I think I might have to go with Sassy Girl, but the others are really beautiful too.

Ardesia, Susan was flattered by your suggsted name, and so it shall be! Here's the flower she named, in case folks have forgotten. By spring I will have clones of ample size to ship you one, so send me a D-Mail with snail mail address and help me remember to send you one in . . March or so. You are seemingly frost free from your locale indication?

Thanks to all for the good suggestions, and especially to Ardesia.

peace,
Barry Schlueter

Woo Hoo, I too am flattered that Susan liked my suggestion. (I am sort of hyperventilating here folks.)

I sit here each evening and I am constantly amazed at the beautiful colors I see in the sunsets and all those colors were in that beautiful flower.

Will certainly D mail you at the appropriate time. Oh gosh, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Amazon Queen and Antique Treasure are my two favs. Brought the patio plants back out into the sun today. They were majorly relieved to see real sun.
Will try and take pics tomorrow, of something, lol.

Hey ecrane3, Happy hibiscus b-day. And thanks truly for all your help with my dumb computer questions over the last year and half. Patti
