Wow, "Game of Thrones" didn't make me cry tonight. That's a relief.
Hey, I was just thinking that I hope now that I'm adding pictures to some that didn't have them, maybe they could be featured for the "Plant of the Day". Although, that probably means no one is growing them and wouldn't be able to comment. But hey, maybe these photos will tempt some of you! Also, shout out to Carole
@SongofJoy who has added a lot to the Hibiscus database. I keep seeing her name and I wanted to recognize her contributions. Now back to the show! FYI, I'm not even halfway through my photos!
This is another one labeled as 'White Pride of Hankins'
'Pride of Hankins' sport
'C'est Bon'
'Love Story'
'Hawaiian Salmon' (A slightly different perspective on this one.)
'Yellow Bird' (Another first! This one reminds me of my 'Fort Myers Yellow'.)
'Little Rapscallion' (Another first! And horribly misspelled on the label.)
'Apricot Brandy'
'El Capitolio Sport'
'Me-Oh My-Oh' (That name was hard to find in the DB!)
'Love Bite' (Another first! I like this one!)
This 'Cynthia' looks a lot better than the other one I took a picture of.
'Black Dragon' (I just saw one of those on "Game of Thrones" and it wasn't nearly as pretty!)
I took a picture without realizing this one didn't have a tag. They had a bunch of blooms on the front table just decorating the place and I think this one migrated. But isn't it pretty?
'Nectar Pink' (Another first! Also, I should have been a teacher because I have the ability to interpret some really bad handwriting.)
'Big Easy' (Not in the DB, but the IHS has it so I asked for it to be added.)
Okay, the next section was called "Seedlings" and I'm assuming that means they were grown from seed. Most of them had the parents listed, but not all. I assumed these might not be in the database, but I'll check anyway. I am out of my comfort zone in this forum so help a newbie out! I can totally answer your butterfly questions, though. Come visit me on my forum (see my signature). All right, enough talk. More pictures!
'Exotic Beauty' (This was submitted by a person, not the vendor, so I'm not sure what's up. This is also the lady with terrible handwriting.) The parent plants appear to read "Female: Creole Lady, Male: Who Knew".
Unnamed. Female parent is 'Seminole Pink', for male parent they put a question mark. Does that make it an illegitimate child?
'Sarasota Sunset' I see we have 'Sarasota Sunrise' in the DB so maybe this is new? They folded the tag so you can't see the parent plants. Maybe it's top secret!
'Joy's Firebird' This one says the female parent is 'President' and the male parent is unknown.
'Baby Carson' Both parents listed as unknown.
'Joy's Sunrise' Both parents unknown.
Unnamed, parents unknown
The bad handwriting again. I believe this is called 'Hawaiian Love Story'. The female parent is 'Hawaiian Sunset' and the male parent is 'Pina Colada'.
'Sunset Zoo' Parents unknown.
Unnamed and unknown parentage.
Okay, I think we're back to cultivars again. And if I remember, the next bunch should be miniatures.
'Hurricane Lily' (Another first! I wish it wasn't quite so blurry. My bad!)
'Snow Queen' (Nicer than the earlier one.)
'Moon Maiden' (Not in the DB but on the IHS list. I had to get this one added. Look at that!)
Okay, this one looks like it reads 'Storkii". Or 'Stork II'. I searched many variations and I can't figure out what this is. Even thought it might be a species name. I don't think we have it, anyway. Just enjoy the pretty flower.
'Hawaiian Salmon' Yes, again. This one must be popular around here.
'Sprinkle Rain' (Another first!)
'Candy Wind'
'El Capitolio Sport'
'C'est Bon' The tags say we're still in the miniature section. Maybe it's a judging thing and only applies to the bloom and not the whole plant?
'Cajun Sunrise'
'Sunny Wind' Looks like a few of our users have this one!
'Leapin' Lizard' This one does not seem to be in the DB or the IHS list.
'Creole Lady' Looks like a few of you have this one, too! And you should!
'Buckshot' Not in our DB, but in the IHS list so I asked to add it.
'Petra' Another first!
'Mandarin Wind'
'Sylvia Goodman'
This is listed as 'Special Friend' but all I see in the DB and IHS is 'Special Friend's Day'.
'Voodoo Queen' Okay, this is another first, but I see there was a thread about this cultivar posted a week ago with lots of pictures. It was from a new member, but remember, you have to remind people sometimes to add their pictures to the DB. Or import them yourself! Or talk them through the process!
'Cajun Cocktail' Another first! Lots of Cajun cultivars. African Violets have that, too. Oh, I just realized there were two of them next to each other. So you get two pics!
'Cajun Blue Star' We had one of these earlier, too!
'Fiji Island' This one is popular, but I can see why!
'Snow Queen' Also popular!
'Psyche'
Found another 'Cajun Cocktail'
'Purple Magic'
'Mystic Mist' Hmm...another one and I still can't find this cultivar.
'Kiss and Tell'
Sing it with me...Hold me closer 'Cosmic Dancer'. Hey, it's after midnight. That's when my silly gets sillier.
'Sensation' Another first, and another one in the Exotic series.
'Erin Rachael' I'm glad this is already in the DB. The handwriting is terrible!
'Dark Princess' Had to request this one as it's not in the DB but on the IHS list.
Another first here, and as Jim Morrison said, Come on baby, 'Light My Fire'.
'Sunny Wind' I see some of the Hibiscus, like this one, are part of the Tropical Escape series. They sell them at Lowe's but they never have the cultivar name which is kind of annoying. I'm one of those people that wants the names of my plants.
'Hula Girl'
Okay, I feel like I better post this and start a new post. My computer and this site are pretty reliable, but let's not take unnecessary chances.
