On closer examination, the flowers have a strange other-worldly appearance. But I've loved hibiscus blossoms ever since I first saw them in Mazatlan, Mexico, many years ago.

Busting into Bloom
One of our hibiscus plants on the front patio got a taste of water the other day and it responded gratefully and exhuberantly this morning. Normally we get one to three blooms a day, if any. This morning, there were nine fresh blooms on the plant! (Not all visible here.)

Holy smokes that's a whole lot of vegitation. That would die in less that a week if I was taking care of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can kill them, unless you just refuse to water them.
ReplyDeleteI want to live with hibiscus! Though I probably would forget to water it.
ReplyDeleteLucy, I can't imagine that.
ReplyDeleteThat hibiscus is on crack.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh. Does that make me a dealer?
ReplyDeleteI think Hibiscus are fairly hardy. That is a beautiful colour, & the blooms are wonderful.
