News from Hidden Valley Hibiscus

Our July Seedling of the Month is a multi-colored single named 'Reflection.' The 6-8" hibiscus flower blooms with a blue body surrounding a soft pink eye. The ruffly orange and yellow edge sets off the flower in unique and interesting ways at different times of the year. 'Reflection' is an orphan seedling of questionable parentage. Every now and then we find a stray seed left behind on the floor or table with no pod, no tag, and no parent names. These are usually throw-away seeds, but for some reason, we went ahead and planted this little seed. Our little orphan grew into our beautiful 'Reflection,' and makes this flower extra special for us. 'Reflection' will be available for sale in 2014.

Each year, our greenhouse looks more and more like a jungle, with bigger plants, taller plants, and MORE plants. It's green, green from floor to ceiling.

This is the nursery, where all our baby plants start. It's climate controlled, humid, warm, shady and perfectly managed for baby hibiscus plants.

These are our big, 2-gallon plants and the plants we call "stock plants" - the ones we use to propagate new baby plants. There are always lots of flowers on these plants!
