    Not yet, Calin. It is always a guess if mine will bloom or not. When it does bloom it is usually in augustus or september...so I will just have to wait a bit.

    That white one of yours looks so nice--really pretty.

    Well I know I don't as I haven't grown any. :p I do love white flowers and that dark centre sets it off to a T.

    I can't take credit for this, it is in my sister's garden. Didn't think to measure it but it was pretty big! :D

    I started one from seed this past winter. It's about 2 feet tall and full of buds. Just waiting for it to bloom. I doubt they'll be that big the first year?
    I got the seeds from my aunt's house. You should have seen all the GIANT flowers it had on it the other day!
    Oh yeah.... she calls them "Dinner Plate Hibiscus"... because they are the size of plate!

    Your's is a beauty!

    You're so lucky to be able to grow hibiscus outside. :D It's absolutely fabulous.
