Mmm...you guys gotta try the Smoked Gouda flavor Triscuits. They're so yummy. Let's see if I can eat and type. Hope you guys are enjoying the show. Sorry you have to put up with my side commentary. Rolling on the floor laughing Oh, I did learn that a "miniature" hibiscus is one that's under 5 inches. I'm assuming that means the bloom.

'Tahitian Arcturus Queen' (Another first!)



'Cajun Blue Star' (Another first! We have all the Hibiscus!)



'Storm Front' (Another first. And this time I did click on the Daylily by accident.) Rolling on the floor laughing



'Stormy Rainbow' (Another first! FYI, I keep pointing that out because I figure some of you may not have seen it before and I wanted you to be aware.)



'Cayenne Pepper' (Not in the DB but the IHS has it listed so I asked for it to be added.)



'President' (This one is also for sale at Lowe's right now.)



'Tahitian Lavender Pastel' (Another first! The label left the "Tahitian" off and I notice some leave the 'Moorea" off. Remember folks, if you participate in a plant show, you may get people who aren't familiar with the various series so put the whole name! I confirmed it with Google, FYI.)



'White Flash' (Another first! Shouldn't it be more white? Nope, I Googled it.) Hilarious!



'PM Miss Bahia' (Couldn't find in the DB but IHS has it listed so I asked to add it.)



'Kennadie Jade' (Not a misspelling!)



'Jane Cowl' (Who is this lady? She's also got a Dahlia and a Daylily.)



'Moorea Silver Sun' (Another first! They left the Moorea off, but I Googled it.)



'Florida Frappuccino' (This doesn't seem to be an official cultivar - yet? But there were at least two entries at the show. We also drove by a Starbucks and I wanted a Frap so bad!)

'Amber Suzanne' (Another first!)



'Lipstick' (I looked at this and thought that would make a lovely shade of lipstick.)



'Cynthia' (Another first!)



'Anderson's Double Yellow Red' (This one seems popular.)



'Butterscotch Splash' (Can't find this as an official cultivar.)

Thumb of 2016-05-30/mellielong/9e147b

'Exotic Peppermint' (This was exhibited in the commercial section by Exotic Hibiscus so I think maybe it's new and that's why it's not listed.)



Wait, I think I figured something out. The next entry is labeled 'Exotic Burning Desire'. But in the DB it's just 'Burning Desire'. So Exotic is the trade name and not part of the cultivar. We should probably fix that. Well, at least I can add 'Peppermint' now. Oh, and 'Exotic Lavender Lady' should just be 'Lavender Lady'. Lemme go fix that.

Here's 'Burning Desire'.



'Cajun Orange Crush' (Again, this was submitted by Exotic Hibiscus, and that's how they list it.)



'Wings of Fire' (Another first! Like I told Dad, who came with me, "These aren't the kind they sell at Home Depot!")



'Pink on the Mountain' (Told you we'd see it again.)



'Acapulco Gold' (The tag was misspelled and even I had to ask Google how to spell "Acapulco".) Rolling on the floor laughing



'Bayou Rose'



A couple more 'Fiji Island'. I didn't think Fiji was hard to spell, but apparently for some people, it is.



Ok folks, I have to make a pot of tea and watch "Game of Thrones". I'll continue at 10:00 pm if I'm not completely devastated by whatever they do this week. Until then, a Hodor to you.
