Hibiscus is blooming

Lovely, my red hibiscus opened its first bloom today also, unfortunately we
had a wind storm the day before and I had to top it, to get the rest of it
to stay up right again. The basket is now staked with a bungee cord all
well hidden, something I should have done before the storm.

Regardless, I took the top 3 feet, full of blooms and put in a vase and the
first flower was open today. I expect the majority of the rest to open
also, since they are really good about opening even if cut and vased.

Our water Hibiscus is blooming. With the extreme heat we are having I decided
I better get a picture of it. I added a picture of it to our pond page.

We had more T-storms last night and I had to top the other long stem. Both
long stems are now in a vase, and blooming. The rest of the plant still has
lots of buds, but it will be a few more days before it starts blooming in
the pond. Drat. ( ~ jan

we're having more 50 and 60 degree weather rather than sunshine and 80s perhaps
that's what's keeping mine in bud. been a very strange summer, feels more like
autumn now and last week my daughter wanted me to turn on the heat - UGH the
last week of July 1st of August - I refused - told her to get a sweater and
blanket LOL cruel aren't I!
