So, out of over 300 pics 42 made the ranks of being published, lol.

Those are all gorgeous! Just love them! Do they have to be protected from the cold, or are they hardy??

I have some Tropicals from Lowes, and a double peach hibiscus tree, but so far have not adventured out to any of the "hybrids". I only have two makeshift GH so don't have alot of room for those that have to be protected.

Thanks for the info!

Cant let Cat post ALL the pretty pictures.
Here's a new seedling in 40-55°F range right now in Houston, Tiptoes:

Another newbie from the chilly greenhouse . . Silverberry x Goin' Steady, 6" doubles so far, interesting color, heavy texture, bolt upright plant and blooms
Tunnel of Love

And here's my Night Vision, great color, form notsogood in the cold; usually 6-7 inches and available soon from a vendor . .
stay warm, Ya'll!
Barry

I always love pink hibiscus, so I of course love Tunnel of Love! And Night Vision is a really cool color--I've never seen one that color before. I'll be keeping my eye out for that one for sure!

Tunnel of Love and Nightvision....are now on my list, lol.

Barry, the reason I have so many beauties, is because 1/2 of them are your creations :)

Very nice Cat & Barry!!!

Stop this immediately. I'm getting wallet fatigue. ;-)

LOL, yeah!

What beatiful thread. I so enjoy looking at all of these!! Great quality photos too!!

I think Barry has sold his soul to aliens or something. No human could possibly produce so many beautiful Hibiscus in one lifetime.
Maybe he has an uncle named Rumplestilskin who helps him spin gold into Hibiscus buds.
It's downright eerie...
:-)

Ooooooooooooh - so nice everyone!!!

Barry, those are gorgeous! Cat, I think I need them all ;-) I think I'm gonna move to Florida with you, lol!

I would love to set up camp near Barry's compost bin...
Just me...a tent...an air mattress...and a great BIG BAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
MWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!!

I have a feeling you would need lots of those big bags. LOL

Gordo, I think it's time for the super stealthy ninja hibiscus bus to head on over to Barry's facility lol ;-)

...my thoughts, exactly.

You guys crack me up. I will tell you though - his facilities are GORGEOUS!! Lots and lots and LOTS of phenomenal flowers and plants! And he is so very nice and will share lots of helpful information. Such a smart man ...

Night Vision just rings my bell everytime I see it Barry. .............Gene

I've been too busy chasing my tail to contribute here lately. I surely appreciate the beautiful images and friendly people on this hibiscus forum, and Kyle's new ones are always interesting. right now we have few flowers in Houston so this list is especially welcome. I do have a few to share here . . but I don't want to forget to congratulate Ultimate Shopper in OK for growing about the prettiest Amazon Queen I've ever seen! Wow! Someone asked somewhere, and yes, it is patented and licensed to Hines exclusively, but the Home Depots around the country are really starting to offer lots of these exotics from Hines.
first up, a near black that is proving a challenge to clone, but worth the trouble?
Lone Wolf:

Next is a variety shown as it won best of show seedling in 07, now competing for AHS Hibiscus of the Year, Magic Potion:

and here is another look at Magic Potion

here's a beauty that is proving to be a little pokey so far, and will have its fate decided this summer, Grand Design.

this one is quite new, multicolored in fall and now a big orange with white, lays out nicely on a great plant so far . . Imagine

Here' a little cutie that I can't quite ignore . . Moonlight Waltz
