Our hibiscus bush has bloomed!
These are my absolute favorite flowers in the garden. They are the most brilliant shade of fuchsia, and enormous. As in, dinner-plate sized. Nearly a foot across.
They are truly beyond spectacular! I just love ‘em!
They are called Mallow Hibiscus. When we moved, I went to the local nursery about this time of year to get one for the new house. I had to buy a plant that was already blooming, to make sure that I got the right color. No reds or insipid pinks for me. Only a deep magenta fuchsia color will do!
The blooms only last for one day, whether you put them in water or not. So you just have to enjoy them while they last, but they are soooo worth it.
XOXO,
