CValentine · 12-01-2009, 07:17 PM

Here's a few from the past few days...

~Cheryl

john_ny · 12-01-2009, 10:05 PM

Neat! I wish I still had some of mine blooming. Oh well, guess I can be thankful - we haven't had a hard freze yet, but getting close.

Worm_Farmer · 12-02-2009, 01:44 PM

Cosmic Dancer!

CValentine · 12-02-2009, 06:57 PM

VIBRANT!!!

~Cheryl

Jananas Bananas · 12-04-2009, 06:23 PM

Still blooming even in this cold. Not sure how the bloom will look tomorrow though. There are about 8 buds just about ready to pop. This painted lady has been one continuous bloomer for me.......and Cheryl too!

~JaNan

Jananas Bananas · 12-10-2009, 07:12 PM

Here are some sprouts of Manihot Hibiscus that I started from seed. Look how fuzzy!!!! Not blooms but still cute!

If I can keep these alive you can have a few Cheryl!

H.rosa sinensis 'Cloud Nine'

CValentine · 12-17-2009, 07:34 AM

WOW John!!

That hibiscus - just says LOVE to me!
It Looks similar to Fantasy Charm, but FC is rufflier

Would wonder what a Valentine's Day or Black Dragon cross would look like...

Or Magic Carpet Ride...

(((SIGH))) Thanks John!!

john_ny · 12-17-2009, 12:48 PM

H. rosa sinensis 'Opening Act'

lorax · 12-17-2009, 03:59 PM

My Hibiscus are all trees.

john_ny · 12-19-2009, 10:08 PM

H.rosa sinensis 'Jamie Labelle'

Not to ignore your interesting question, but I have no idea. Anyone?

jeffreyp · 12-20-2009, 05:47 AM

It seems the tropical kind is sterile as I have never seen seeds in them, but was curious if you could take the pollen from it and fertilize a rose of sharon to produce something of interest?

lorax · 12-20-2009, 10:21 AM

Theoretically, yes. It would depend on your tropical hibiscus though - many of the cultivars are sterile. If you could get your hands on honest-to-susan H. rosa-sinensis that wasn't a cultivar, it would be more likely that you'd get seeds in a cross.

saltydad · 12-20-2009, 03:11 PM

And if I turn the camera around and look out of the front window:

john_ny · 12-21-2009, 12:40 PM

I don't know how he does it, what he polinates, etc., but all the ones that I have been posting were bred by Curt Sinclair. He must have some plants that are not sterile/he must get seeds sometimes.

Here's another one. This one's called 'Braveheart'.

john_ny · 12-22-2009, 10:57 PM

Just a generic red hibiscus... but I got a picture of the month, on another garden forum, for this one.
