Meditation

Took 15 months to get this to bloom. It was a 4" cutting when I got it.

"Meditation"

WOW!!


**rearranges wish list and puts this one on top**

Oh I like that one, Robert. Definately worth the wait.

Now thats a gorgeous bloom! A must have for sure...

Thanks everyone. I am going to cut it in about 4 weeks or so. I had 2 that were grafted and they were crushed during Ike. I'm glad I had stuck it and it took. Actually only 1 of the cuttings took out of the 6 that I did stick. Glad it did!!! The color is actually a smokey dark (grey or gray) and pink. It looks dark lavender but and the more the day has gone by it shows more grey in it.

Robert let me know , Please!!!!!!!!!!!!! when ya got one of it fo r sale. That a must have for sure. Really beautiful!!!!!!!!

I'm with Starlight! Dibs!!! :-)

That is gorgeous! Definitely going on my wish list too :-)

Kyle just came out of hibiscus breeding retirement!!! eye chee wah wah!! I can see the genes from here.Colors from the dark side(genes). LOL

Great color.
Kyle:-)

Yeayyyyyyyy, Kyles out of hibernation. :-)

Robert, meditation is mesmerizing and whenever I see those smokey gray,lavender colors I am reminded of the taffeta dresses my grandmother used to wear. You are too young to remember things like this but taffeta fabric had an soft iridescent sheen to it and although it came in all colors my grandmother preferred that gray/violet for her church dresses.

Just beautiful.

I agree with everyone. It was well worth the wait.

Robert I'm so happy you could save that one, it is absolutely beautifully breath taking wonder, I hope you do well propagating a lot of it, the demand is very high for such a beauty, hope to be on the list of fortunate people to acquire it from you when you have it ready.

Wilfred

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the deep colors and hues.

I have to have this one also. Put me down please.

Thanks everyone.

She has 4 more buds on her. I want to wait to see those pop before I cut her too. Sometimes I just have to break my own rules on cutting LOL I know I'll get more branching and I need to stick some BUT....... ;-)

Robert

LOl. Easily turned by a pretty face. I don't blame ya at all. The urge for bloom beauty just gets to strong and ya gott a just sit back and enjoy it. : )

Robert, I don't know why, but I keep thinking ever since I saw this beauty what would come out a cross pollination between ( Meditation x Black Dream, new from Dupont ), ( Meditation x Crawfish Pie ), ( Meditation x Silver Memories ), ( Meditation x Geronimo ), ( Meditation x Black Dragon ), just imagine, with such a gorgeous bloom Meditation has, any thing you cross it with should be beautifully outstanding.

Wilfred

What a gorgeous bloom! Those colors were worth waiting for. I may have to travel to Texas to try to find some of the beautiful hibiscus you grow there.

Robert . . .

Holy Smokes.
That is INCREDIBLE!

Emma

I too want this one for my 'Black' flower garden
