above is the same double baby I keep taking photographs of, I can't help it. I'm reposting because in this photo you see a side view. I love how globular it looks from about every angle - It's so big and funky on a too tall stem, but you can see what a show off it is from the garden view. I can't wait to get a clump of this monster. :)
FFO on Friends With Benefits, big bloom, pretty color, and not the usual full form I grow in my garden, but it was a gift from Paul Owens from another purchase. I can tell I'm going to really like this one once it gets a good clump going. Does anyone grow the next flower, Africa ? and then next is one of my garden favorites, big and showy light Tuscawilla Snowdrift. nice sized blooms! below shows the clump in the corner of my bed. the last pic is a box planter on the porch, I think I've posted before, but it's still growing nicely and looked extra splashy today with the orange hibiscus blooming next to it. :)
I do not grow Africa but sure would like to. I have a lot of blacks and trying to cross as many as I can. If you ever have enough to sell, I would like to purchase. However, if its a dormant, I can't grow it.
