My MM must of heard us talking about it and started to push out some new leaves just after
I posted. Is sawfly breeding season over or will I still need to watch for them?

Pretty blooms, Rose! Lovey dubby
Hurray! Hooray for MM blooms, Critter! Hurray!

I haven't seen any recent damage here, so hopefully it's past. I'm going to try and be more on the ball next year! I was shocked at how fast they ruined the foliage on all of my hibiscus this year.

Awww, after waiting a year, my Cherry Cheesecake has no cherry edge.
It is thick and beautiful/
But did I get the wrong plant? I might bug the owner because he sent me a wrong plant once before.

Clint, thanks for the comment. I'll try to set up some temporary shade cloth. Maybe eventually it needs moved.

You created them right? Just saying selective breeding of ones we have could get large flowers eventually.

Laszlo,

How old are these hibiscus? Do you ever sell them to nurseries for retail? I would love to see some of these available in the US!

What I would like to see is Hardy x tropical hibiscus hybrids created. If anyone can do that you will be rich!
