Blooming Like Crazy...


Oh my heavens, I was not planning on posting on my blog today...
but it's a must!

I was out and about with my trusty little camera yesterday morning...
what a find!

Okay, it's my hibiscus plant~
She's showing off again. 
Oh, she's so proud and not a bit shy about blooming! 

Take a look~
Just blooming like crazy!


It's just sad that their blooms appear and last for only one day.

This one is pure...
 PERFECTION~

She's let me know that she'll keep blooming until a killing frost, I know I'll feast my eyes on hundreds of blooms this season! 

Now, you must remember this, Hibiscus flowers appear on the ends of branches, so do not pinch off late in the growing season, or the hibiscus flower will be delayed into late summer.

    Nancy, David loves Hibiscus flowers. We had so many in Mexico and now we have a few here just to remind us of just some of the colors of Mexico. Such perfection!!

    I love Hibiscus and often buy one to brighten the winter living room. Of course, they won't grow outside up here - lucky you!

    This is the second winter that I have brought my little lady in and she is still blooming and does so most of the winter. They lose a lot of leaves but get them back once outside in the spring!!

    XO,

    My mother in law has one and she counted 30 blooms on hers one day. She has a green thumb with that one.

    That is GORGEOUS! You should make a postcard out of it. Thanks for sharing - we're already into pre-winter where I am, and everything is brown here. So it's a treat to see a flower so pretty :)

    That hibiscus reminds me of our years spent in South America where they grew everywhere. Such a graceful flower. Enjoy them!

    Here I thought I knew all about Hibiscus and ya taught me somethin' new. Mine bloomed till we had the killing frost this year...much later than usual.

    You captured it in all it's glory with those beautiful pics.

    God bless and enjoy your day sweetie!!! :o)
