@Char Congratulations on winning the Hibiscus category with this stellar photo. I am impressed by how many blooms are open simultaneously on the plant. Usually I get one or two blooms open each day. Is this plant in your own garden? If so, do you do anything special to get so many blooms open at once? Do you know which hibiscus variety this is?

Thank you Lori! I was very surprised to see one of my images in the finals.

This hibiscus is Tie Dye. I grow 4 different ones, Blue River II, Cranberry Crush, Summer Storm and Tie Dye. Of the 4 Tie Dye has not been the strongest plant or best bloomer when compared to the other 3, maybe it just needs a better spot in the garden.

Congratulations, Char! What a beautiful photo of a beautiful hibiscus.

Thank you Tim!
