It's raining Hibs....07/06/08 to 07/13/08

Time for Magic.

Voodoo Doll.

Voodoo Queen.

And last for me is Young at Heart.

Have a terrific, bloom-filled weekend!!

WOW, all beautiful. Antique treasure, Bienvenue, Suave, Star Storm, etc., etc., etc. sure caught my eye. (and a few others too, LOL)

Good work Karen; your hibiscus collection might even be better than before the move.

I can't pick a favorite, I like them ALL! Golllllly! There beauty is awesome! I love ALL the colors, even browns and GREENS! Here is my new Hibiscus, in the rain - Peach Schnapps! (cozy, huh?) Somehow, my hibiscus inventory has more than doubled from last year.. they are just now starting to pop buds and blooms, it's an exciting time in the jungle.

Here is the bloom, it was very hot and rainy, so this is the best I got to see it.. taken before I left for work yesterday..

Thanks, Ardesia. I ultimately lost a few plants, and a few that I cut way back in hopes of saving them are just now starting to get leaves. But most are now producing beautiful blooms. Plus, there ARE a few new additions, lol ;-)

My rental house has a really long driveway and I park my car near the front of it. The rest of the driveway now looks like Home Depot! My mail carrier even asked if I sell them, lol ;-) Somehow, they just don't do as well in this backyard, so the arrangement of pots isn't really too appealing (unless you're a hib addict, lol), but that's okay by me.

Aunt B, beautiful Peach Schnapps and congratulations on doubling your collection, lol ;-) Funny how it happens that way!

Karen I think hibiscus on the driveway is fine utilization of space. You don't have mow around them either.. Thanks for the congrats, I was eyeing the space availability for yet another light in the basement for winter....... It was the first bloom on the Peach S. I like the coloring on yours.. I hope mine matures to look like that! This is Nanette Peach, she bloomed all winter, I repotted and this is the first summer bloom. I think she is a prolific grower.

Ruffles, lots of blooms..most last 2 days (same with Nanette)

Quickly becoming a favorite, HOT Ross, the blooms are almost luminous, bloomed inside late winter, nice sprawling kind of growth and fast. Blooms last at least 2 days and he's loaded with buds..

Pretty, pretty pictures AuntB - love the peach and the Hot Ross!

Karen,
where did you get Jungle Jive and Mango Tango? I want one

WOW Everything is absolutely beautiful!!! Great Growing!!!

Robert

Jungle Jive was Robert, and Mango Tango was from HVH. I just LOVE Jungle Jive and have been waiting and waiting for it to bloom :-)

Mango Tango was one of my first hibiscus. You know how I love those "gaudy" colors, lol!

Karen - fabulous! When can I move in?? :)

Also, your black jack is fantabulous!!!!
