Roxanne, Daisy Wilcox finally started opening today. Royal Hawaiian is several days off, hope it makes it this year. And Kimi Moragne and Theodora Crimson each have two-to-three more inflos almost ready to bloom. And Vera Cruz Rose is about a week and a half away from blooming. Newer inflo on Jeannie M. is producing some of the nicest blooms yet. And the white butterfly gingers just started blooming last week. I thought the garden had peaked for the year, but it may not have. The combination of hot and cool weather has done wonders to the colors here.

Guillot's Sunset has a new inflo ... Not sure it'll make it before it goes dormant. Everyone else is just happily green and leafy!

no new ones. got a bunch hanging in there. Waiting on Divine to open on a second inflo from a branch formed this year on the first inflo.

leaves are turning yellow around here. :(

mike

some of mine are going yellow...those 1st leaves anyway. we are expecting some more heat this weekend and the deck is hotter anyway. Will post pix if they make it. roxanne

I have a few.

So, after waiting awhile for Freak to stay around a few days, and also myself not being around much, I'll spill the beans. I have an inflo on the Bonnie Fox that he gave me! Yippee! I'm having a hard time judging when she'll bloom because of the crazy weather making it seem so slow, but soon... very soon!

Also, I have 2 inflos on Mardi Gras and 1 on Duke. Duke is just starting to push so I'm assuming he will be in the greenhouse blooming this winter. There's a wacky curved inflo on Candy Stripe. It's so cute! I"m anxious to see what the colors will be like with cool weather. Won't be long!

There are also seed pods on my Kimo and Celadine. Here's the interesting thing... Kimo and Celadine sit on each side of a humongo pot of moonflower vines tempting those sphinx moths to visit. Next year I'll strategically decide which plants to be next to the moonflowers. I'm never without moonflower vines and now I have a new reason to love them! :)

And, I'm also getting a lot of the yellowing leaves. That time is here.

Oh, my rust problems got out of hand this year. I failed to use any fungicide at all. Next year I won't let that happen and will see if rust is less of a problem.

I'll post pics soon.

Elizabeth Thornton and JJ Mini Devine are pushing new ones.

this is all very exciting...I do hope we all post pix when the time comes....roxanne

1 of my seedlings from '05 just opened for the first time...small but pretty and great smell. roxanne

Wow lots of late bloomers!

I too detected brand new inflo on Charlotte Ebert, Whirlwind, Hula Girl and Rhonda! I am excited but also worried they won't make it. What a strange season.

Let's hope the weather stays warm so they can all bloom!

My Mary Helen Eggenberger has a late inflo. I hope to see at least 1 bloom from the inflo before it gets too cold.

OH KIM, I hope it does too...that is 1 on my wish list and would love to see a pix of yours blooming. roxanne

Cool Temperatures:

With 95F for two days:

George

wow, what a nice list you have. roxanne

Photos, please! That is a lot of new inflos for everyone--very exciting!

I just have the dud Tornado seedling inflo and the Orange Splendor seedling, which will open any. day. now. We still have a month or so of summer left here, so anything could happen.

Jandey, I will put up pix once they make the jump to bloom speed. roxanne

Today I found a second inflo on Candy Stripe. I'll be keeping an eye on that third branch.

And after seeing Lynn's post, I'm wondering if I had previously mentioned that my Rhonda also has an inflo that will be opening soon. That one was most exciting to me so I'm pretty sure it was already mentioned.

George - wow! Are you deserving of all that? :)

Just found a new inflo on divine. Also noticing that I will have quite a few seedpods also.

Mike

Daisy Wilcox

Still waiting for 4 more plumeria to open for the first time here in the next couple of weeks.

Gorgeous George!

Aztec Gold, Champoo Jack, Jeanie Moragne, Kauka Wilder, Ember, Charlotte Elbert, Singapore, Jacqueline, Kaneohe Sunburst, Key West Red, Penang Peach, Kimo, Grapette, Scensation, and Kaneohe Sunrise. All are flowering with developing inflos.

Getting ready to open....each with several inflos...Mahaka Sunn (huge inflo), Confetti, Kapalua, Peachy King, and Metallica. It's been a very good growing season and will continue for at least another two months. Singapores are the last to stop flowering and that's usually the first week in December.

Purdee...that is quite a list as well. Is it the REAL Kapalua? roxanne

Hi Roxanne. Lol. It's the REAL Kapalua.

Lucky you...did you buy it rooted? I hear it is hard to root. I would love to see a photo of Kaneohe Sunburst next to the Sunrise to see the difference. Is the scent different as well? roxanne

this is just 1 of my '05 seedlings that has a late inflo. First time for this one blooming and a nice scent to boot. roxanne

Hello Everyone!!!

Hi Manuel.. Nice to see you post!! Sounds like you are having an awesome summer with all of your beauties!! Thanks for the list of things to come. I can't wait to see Makaha Sunn!! Mine is looking like it will be another year before it opens, but it is healthy so I am glad of that. My Kapalua is doing well and it still has some blooms trying to open, so hopefully with this cool weather it will still have some good color!! It is very exciting to see!!!

Simi.. They are all so healthy and still holding that color, but lucky you.. Living in Cali... Nice!!

Rox.. Beautiful bloom!!!

Here is a late JJ Orange that is opening for me. It has a huge set of blooms, but I have seen a color change in just a few days.. So sad to see what these cooler temps can do.

Here is a pic of the JJ Orange!!

Night everyone!!

Laura

Woke up this morning to find Maui Beauty's late inflo opening. It did not have this stripe in it last year. What causes that I wonder? The scent is potent and nice. Lots more trees to still bloom I hope, hot again this weekend. :-) roxanne

George and Laura, you gotta warn a girl to go get her sunglasses before you blast that much color on a screen! Hoowee, those are bright!

Manuel, I don't think I'm alone in saying that I'd LOVE to see those Makaha Sunn blooms in person! But I'll settle for photos. :)
