I’m a great admirer of Master Charles Atiu’s work. I admire his modesty, hard work and above all his genius. My passion started all of a sudden, before I even saw the first hibiscus seed. It was something that became a part of my life. I couldn’t live without the hibiscuses now. My daily rutine includes the Hibiscus time. This time is for my soul. Only for my pleasure. Is a panacea to many other expensive or unhealthy hobbys.

This blog is an expression of my warm admiration for a true genius of hibiscus world: Charles Atiu.

And, as I said in my first post, maybe it all started with Moorea Casiana.

My new baby from Moorea seeds. Thank you, Master Atiu, for this wonderful bloom. The seeds were sown on December, 10th, 2010.

  1. Greetings,

    I used to live on Moorea at the UC Gump Station many years ago, and these beautiful Hibiscus bring back island memories. Do you know where I can buy plants of Charles Atui hybrids that ships to San Francisco, California? I especially like Moorea Silver Sun. Thank you for all your help and the wonderful pictures.
