I'm going to use that thread for all my seedlings, since I have next to nothing for 2015.. Anyway - here are some blooms:

Ti-update :P one I found in a hardware store/garden center close to work: any idea which one it is? here's one I've had at the office but brought home recently (one of the Hawaiians): I think it's lemon lime

Oh yes, I'm crazy about them. Growth wise - I'm not doing anything special, they just seem to be very robust. Apparently most of the pests I have on my hibiscus plants avoid the ti's, which helps a lot.. Ah and the (I think) lemon lime plant is at my office, at first I thought it was a second...

one more close-up! (Yey, I can contribute!!!!)

Here's an update on the Ti-logs that miraculously arrived at my home almost a year ago. Of the eight logs I got, seven made it and are still alive This one I got from the local garden center - first time I saw Ti's there. I have no idea which one it is, maybe someone here can make a guess?

Holiday plans are in the making!!!Joyful In the meantime the holiday palms are coming along nicely, here's an overeager Trachycarpus (which actually makes me doubt it's a Trachycarpus..)

There are so so many nice plants there its unbelievable... the side strips of the highways are full with oleander and hibiscus, it's growing like weed there @Dean - thanks a lot for the information, that's really cool!!! I hope some of the seeds will grow...:jiggy:

I've discoverd tiny tiny buds on two Acapulco Gold x Bayou Irene seedlings (one of them was already dropped again ... duh..) And I've been seeing huge holes in my seedlings leaves (they have never been outdoors) - this weekend while showering them I finally discovered the reason - a huge fat...

funny thing about funky foliage hibiscus - they change leaf-shape depending on whether they are just growing (funky leaves) or blooming (=> normal leaves). I'm reposting my funky seedling here to follow up, the leaves have changed to normal now that it's blooming

one more - any idea on that one?

I was just on vacation in Sicily and Liparian Islands and brought home some souvenirs... The seeds in the lower part are phoenix dactylifera, phoenix canariensis, trachycarpus fortunei (at leas I hope so..) and chrysalidocarpus however I don't know about the seeds in the upper part, I'll post...

No hib, but my flat :P

more pictures

hey I completely failed loading the pictures of the other two, I'll retry. thing got stuck last time... :-\ here's Climax x Tamibon #3, the second one that bloomed and here the last one - its podmate, bigger Climax x Tamibon #2: oops.. I have no idea why somethimes the thumbnail thing works...

Seedling alarm!!!!! after a long dry period I've had three seedlings blooming within a couple of days (two of them while my parents were visiting - yey - jealous mom!) Here's number one - planted last year. The cross is Casa Grande Lavender (funky foliage-european) x Ice Fairy (HVH):

oh cool, I never heard of that one! I recently bought hibiscus sabdarifa, which looks funky and is the hibiscus variety you can make tea from. looks as though it's shutting down :( maybe it's getting to cold for that one now.

the Ti's that miraculously arrived as logs in april today! (and some palms and plumerias)

update on the seedlings - constant fight agains white flies, most are growing nicely, three or four are giving up by now.

haha, a couple of days ago a police-helicopter came by and hovered quite some time over our balcony.... you think that was because of all the pot-shaped hibiscus????

don't know, I think it's a problem with its roots, I put it indoors now, so it can dry out a bit more. It never really recovered after the last winter and its been getting rather wet the last few weeks. It had some really nice blooms last year, would be a shame to loose it.
