It's an 8 year old plant but IIRC it is Luna @DraDiana

Another photo. Both the red and this one are now in glorious full bloom.

Love those, Dave! I only have tropical hibiscus, but I now need some Rose of Sharon and hardy hibiscus. I'm tired of hauling the tropicals in and out and trimming them back to fit into the house or greenhouse.

My first bloom for 2017 - Midnight Marvel.

Midnight Marvel still has yesterday's bloom hanging on, plus a new one for today.

Anticipation:


Berry Awesome


Starry Night

Also, 2 days ago I planted bare root Mars Madness and Tie Die from Hallson Gardens.

They are blooming today (the earlier post was yesterday's photos). Photos are in the Database under Starry Starry night, and under Berry Awesome, plus one landscape photo. My internet is cranky today, so I'm not posting them twice.

Cranberry Crush 2 days ago.


Cranberry Crush today:

These where blooming in my garden for the last a few days:
Blue River II:

NO ID Pink

NO ID white

Beautiful! I am waiting for my 'Blue River II' to get flowers. This is the first year for this plant.

Thanks for sharing.

We only have two nurseries here town not counting the big box stores. The largest nursery only carries Luna Assorted, old New Yellar (?), Plum Crazy, and Hardy Pink available. I've been looking on line to buy some others but it looks like the can't be ordered until October.

If you where ordering, which mail order business do you think is the best ?

If you are looking for hibiscus, I found that Hallson Gardens had the best hibiscus, from my experience.

I planted 2 Hardy Hibiscus from Hallson last week. They looked like nice healthy roots to me, and the shoots are already popping out of the ground. The lillies I got from their end of June sale were big, healthy, and are all up and growing as well!

Thank you Evelyn and Diana.

Omg. I'm so addicted to these. What's not to love? They come back every year. They are easy to propagate. The blooms are huge! Lol. I think I'm up to 24 varieties now.

Clint, I only started last year, and I'm up to 8. I'd have bought 3 more, but it seems all the suppliers ran out! So I bought 2 each of 11 varieties of Oriental/Asiatic lilies instead. Not quite the same...
