Very pretty! And blooming for 4 days is very impressive, especially now that we've got hot weather I'm lucky if any of mine even last 1 full day!

We have fairly cool nights here, probably because of that I“ve never had so long flowering before on any Hibiscus.

I notice that my Hippeastrums flower also flower very long time.

Accordingly I have them on my porsch and there is only about +50 degree F in the nights.

Sylvia, that sounds heavenly to me; our nights stay in the 80's during the summer.

Your C'est Bon is a beauty.

Wooaw , to hot for me, 59-59 F it is usally this temp here in summernights. We northpeople in north Europe not born for so hot summer-temperatures as you have, but I love warm weather but it shall stay for 80-86 F.

C“est Bon is new for me this year, I bought 6 Tropical Hibiscus from United Kingdom, otherwise I only have Europegian Rosa-Sinensis.
C“est Bon was a real "cream gāteau" for me :o)

Nice pic, Sylvia. I also bought this variety, and nine more, from Burton Grange in UK but mine hasn't bloomed yet. As you know they are small rooted cuttings and they need a lot of time to grow before blooming. Just Bonjour has bloomed

In Europe you can also buy hibiscus from these nurseries:

Exotica nursery, near home, very dangerous for my wallet
http://www.plantencentrumexotica.com/

Gommer Nursery in The Netherlands

And Sun Island in Italy

Hi Carlo in Belgiun. Thanks for link to more nurseries in EU.
My ones is from Burton Grange in UK.
More ones have start blossom, probably because of very early and warm summer up here in Sweden. This one Gator Pride start first but not
be able to open entirely
