Hibiscus are so pretty - I had one at big blue-purple one at the house I moved from a couple years ago - I really miss it. I've been looking at them at the nurseries lately, thinking to replace it. What makes me ill is that the new folks who bought our house cut it down! It was 10 years old and produced such beauty... why...?? Now I wish I had dug it up and brought it with me (as I did many of the smaller plants) - they replaced it with four chunks of flagstone and a decorative bench.  sigh...

Beautiful. Does that black border around your photos come from the software that came with your camera? I especially like that touch.

Here we go again with the fantastic quality photos  I'd bet if you posted a photo of the backend of a bus it'd still look great Sharon  The water droplets really add to the photos.

One again, DD's work. She is so good, I keep trying to get her to enter a contest, but she won't. Photobucket has one, I think I will enter for her and if she wins the money, I will just keep it.
Bethie, I don't know if that came with the camera or not, I will ask her and see how she does it.

Very, very pretty! I ordered a collection of 4 a couple of years ago. One of the four grew like crazy and is very hardy like another older one that I have. The other three did not do well at all, so I dug them up and tossed them on my mulch pile. Funny how some do great and other colors just wimp out.
