Looks like a great way to start this segment of the blooming heaven string to me. So glad you were willing to share. God bless and have a good night.

Tammy I am always willing to share but I tend to go overboard just don't want people to get tired of looking at my flowers. Hope you had a good night's rest . Have a great day. Need to make my weekly call to my mother.
Jimmy

You keep on posting those lovely flowers Jimmy. All of yours go on my list of gotta get one of these days. Love all the great vibrant colors!

Sheri,

Those are beautiful pictures!

Oooooooh, Sheri - love 'em!!!

That row of liriope is gorgeous!
I've never seen so many of them grouped together like that -
what a great presentation!

I second lynne and triss. Really great pictures and I like the butterfly sitting on the flower. I think that is the best picture of liriope that I have seen. Thank you for sharing them I love pictures.

Sheri all your's are beautiful. Love the Liriope the way you have them planted.
Jimmy

STUNNING!

Jimmy what beauty you have there to enjoy! Wow I am so envious. I saw a picture of some beautiful baby blue hibiscus I book marked the page for next year ordering. Are the yellow hardy? I want some but am thinking those may be the tropical type. I have a beautiful coral one on the front porch, but its tropical. Is the orange one pictured there a tropical? I have been scanning my tropical for seeds but no luck yet.

Thanks Triss and Karrie for the kind words. Karrie the Carolina Breeze is Tropical , The Manhots are supposed to be hardy to zone 7 if I remember right. I will have some seeds later of the Manhot if you would care for some. These plants are 4 ft. tall and as you can see are so bloom heavy the plant is bending. You most likely wont get any seeds off your Tropical. They take longer growing seasons then you have in Indiana. Or We have in North Texas. Mine have never made seed pods and this one is about 3 years old.
Jimmy

JV, how beautiful. They look so fresh in that scalding heat. Are they shaded?

No Sheri they get sun all day from sun up to sunset except the one with 5 blooms has tree shade for about an hour around 12:00 the rest have full sun.
Glad you all liked them.
Jimmy

OMG JV, those are just stunning!

You have a hardy variety??

I would love seeds Jimmy! Thank you! I love orange and yellow flowers, they are by all means my favorite! I got quite a few seeds yesterday from he pink and white. This is my first time planting hibiscus, do you have any advice or suggestions for planting the seeds? I am clueless as to plant them spring or fall. I spent most of yesterday looking for information on them. I had never seen yellow until a few days ago saw some on google search, figured they were tropical also saw some beautiful blue ones, still trying to figure out if they are tropical or hardy. These were my husbands grandfathers favorite flowers. Also the last thing he got to plant before he passed away. I am so happy he got to see them bloom before he passed away. Mine are seeds from his plants. I hope to establish them well and maybe some day my kids will plant their seeds as well!

HI jimmy your yellow manihot hibiscus are beautiful.i was gonna post some photos of mine also but you beat me to it lol.yes there suppose to be hardy up to zone 7 where i live but i am still gonna save some of the seeds just in case i had a lot of those bloom this is the first year i have grown them thanks to Duckie for the seeds for them.but will have lots of seed to trade to.still got to post my seed trading list soon i have a few more plants that i need to collect seeds from yet.your friend in gardening.mike57

Mike we got our seeds from the same person Duckie. I have collected a few seeds Duckie wants some as she seems to have gave all hers away. I am waiting to see what all I have before I post my list also. Kerrie will be glad to send you some seed. also ging to have Orange (or gold) Cannas stand about 4 ft tall. Collecting rysomes now sending my sister about 50 as well as lynne wants some and Trish wants about 4 will send her 8. Will have around 100 in all that is just a guess. Mike go ahead and post yours as if mine are half as pretty as yours I am happy.
Jimmy

Oh JV can I have some Cannas too if you have enough PLEASEEEEEEEEE? I will send my address in a pm. Thanks JV you so kind! I am just going to have the most beautiful hibiscus garden some day! What a beautiful back drop for the wedding we will someday have in my back yard! We won't need any florist! lol She is only 3 but its never to early to start planning!

kerrie all I need ia an addy and qty you want.
Jimmy

I have sent the addy already and send how ever many you want I am just grateful to be getting any at all! Thank you so much! If in any way I can ever return the favor dont hesitate to holler at me!

The miniature yellow and red snapdragons are starting to bloom woohoo. It's a little early for them but I'm glad they are trying. I wonder if I should fertilize for more blooms or wait until it is actually fall? Do you have any thoughts on the subject.
