I used to have the red one - do like the delicacy of the Cream form though...   |

You're right Rosefriend, they are very pretty and you also don't realise the detail for such a small flower too. I think someone on here may have given me the ID for it. I think it may have been andy and/or Tig. |

A couple of whites from me. This is even better than it was last year. I love how delicate the flowers are but it also appears frothy too  And then this is so blousy. I think Ladygardener, has/had it as well  |

 It's beautiful Barbara. I did the Chelsea Chop on my white one and it's in bloom now too while most of the others are over, although I did dead head my blue one as soon as the flowers were over and it's blooming well again. |

maglonian, It seems more like a pale lemon to me but it's beautiful, looks like you have tons of buds still to open.

Quite a few years ago Jilly sent me a baby hibiscus and this year it has actually flowered. The photo doesn't really do it justice - it is the most amazing white - like a washing powder advert white. Love it - it is now going in a sunny border!  |

It's glowing in that pic Jasmine, is'nt it great when something flowers for the 1st time. |

That's brilliant Jasmine, especially as it's parent was pink, well done for getting it to flower. I've got another one languishing neglected in a pot somewhere, you've encouraged me to give it some tlc to see if I get a white one too. |

Post by Jasmine on Aug 29, 2016 14:36:09 GMT
I had nearly given up on it to be honest Ladygardener, but I don't think I was giving it a sunny enough spot. Fingers crossed Jilly, everything about the flower is white even the beautiful stamen arrangement which you can't see properly in my photo - that is just a slightly creamier shade of white. |
