For months I have been looking at the bed around the hibiscus and saying "someday" I will expand that area since they are getting sooooooo big. Today I started weeding around them, one thing led to another as those things are want to do in the garden and before I knew it the whole 12foot long bed was 1 foot wider.

Those babies come back bigger and bigger each year and it looks like this will be a banner year for blooms. Since we basically had no winter, they are already covered with buds and that usually doesn't happen until late June.

I have two, a red and a white. The second spring they started growing I was really afraid someone driving down the alley would think the white one was a "pot" plant, the leaves looked very similar. Course some of our neighbors are the sort that would start picking the leaves instead of calling the narcs.

I can hardly wait until they start blooming so I can take pictures for you all to see. The blooms are usually 8-12 inches across.

Weeding leading to bed widening. One of those days where you start small on something and before you know it its gotten out of hand :)

When we moved here, the neighbors anxiously awaited our arrival to see what was moving here. The last people were big time druggies. The police stopped to see if we belonged or were just moving here. We had to show them our lease. It's a fairly quiet neighborhood now if you don't count the guy across the street. He thinks the street is a speedway. Dooley
