Great photos Kristi, they all look healthy and happy and are putting their best face forward!

They look lovely Kristi! Thank you for sharing, your photos brightened up a very grim, rainy and windy day.

HI Kristi,

What a beautiful display. Even though there is no snow on the ground, winter is in full swing with temps next week predicted to drop into the teens (yuck!!!), these outdoor flowering beauties are just what we need for a little pick-me-up.

Warm Regards,
Fred

Oh, they are all so beautiful!

By the way, did you have 8 blooms on one stalk in the fourth photo, or are there two stalks? That looks gorgeous.

Congrats, Kristi.

Hi Xuan!
That is H. Neon with 8 blooms on one scape.

Kristi,

thanks for making my day with all these beauties! Great range of colors and shapes! Your Neon is simply perfect - love how all the 8 flowers have opened at the same time! Mine is deservedly resting after it bloomed 3 times for me this past growing season.

H. Tinke Verberg and H. Antartica are also now blooming and both are really lovely. H. Glee and H. (not) Ruby Meyer should be open in a day or two. I'll post more photos in a couple of days. Tomorrow night/Thursday morning temps are supposed to dip into high teens/low 20s!

UGH!

Hi Kristi,

I'm really looking forward to seeing your 'Tineke Verburg' and 'Antarctica' blooming.

About 'not Ruby Meyer,' there are at least two substitute cybisters this season. Hopefully, yours will turn out to be the best of the imposters.

Stay warm!

Here are a few more:

Here's H. Tinke Verberg....I really like it. I thought it would be more red, but in good light, it's orange.

And H. Antarica

This was supposed to be H. LaPaz, but is H. Tango. I hope I can get an H. LaPaz....

My H. Ruby Meyer is a nice H. Quito. I still have many more photos to take!

More photos from tonight.

First is what was supposed to be H. Kahlua, but it's not. I have no idea. It did balloon like the others posted on this forum, but it's not too "wild". I just opened today and is quite civil! It really is quite yellow and red... I'll see what tomorrow brings! (See below...separate post in this thread for outside better colors,)

Here's another shot of H. Glee.Exactly as advertised!
{{gwi:2122211}}

And here is what was bought as H. Ruby Meyer, knowing full well that it wouldn't be that. It turned out to be a lovely H. Quito. Two scapes in bloom at nearly the same time. Quite nice!

{{gwi:2122213}}

I'll post more as they bloom. REMEMBER, I put half away for later, so I'll have blooms continually for the next couple of months!

Kristi, your blooms are so lovely! Can't wait to see more.
I, also have a La Paz putting up 2 scapes. I wonder what I will get.

I'm not H. Kahlua...who am I? (better colors here...yellow cast due to kitchen lights in post above).
