The picture of the Fire and Ice came from the booth of Nature's Dream Nursery Nature's Dream Nursery wholesale hibiscus red hot plumbago Florida landscapers croton ixora trinette selloum codiaeum ti red sister - Nature's Dream Nursery, LLC in Homestead, FL. I think they only sell wholesale but, perhaps, they may have someone in your area.

The rest of the pictures that I have posted here, were all taken in my yard, but the plants originally came from Curt Sinclair, the former president of the American Hibiscus Society. He does also sell retail, but when you buy/ship individually, I think they get kind of expensive. His place is Exotic Hibiscus Hibiscus Flowers and Hibiscus Plants - Exotic Hibiscus: Hybridized Hibiscus Flowers in La Belle, FL.

Mine are finally done in by the cold weather, so I must depend on all of you to keep me supplied with these beautiful blooms! The tropicals are still blooming inside, but I've already posted them. I have one variety that I'm waiting on to bloom; I'll post it if it does.

Here's a rosa sinensis, called Kiss & Tell.



I don't want to mislead anyone. While these pictures are all of my plants, none of them are blooming now. They were from earlier in the season, or last year; some may even be from the year before that.
