    How pretty! I, too, just love Hibiscus. We have to winter them over indoors here in NJ.... The one I tried to winter-over this past winter didn't make it. Maybe there's a trick to it.... first time I tried.

    Yep... I think "gorgeous" sums it up nicely!

    Love love love Hibiscus.Yours are gorgeous, Hummerbum!

    My In-Laws had a huge one which used to be covered with flowers so much so that you couldn't see the leaves. But thats in India and I have always longed for one here in US.
    Well, went to the nursery yesterday and didn't see any 'hardy' ones. Will go back again later.

    How gorgeous are these new foto's!
    You are living in a good area of your country so that you can grow such beauties. Really impressive, mate.
    So then---you are not only the hydroponic veggie girl, but also the flowering plant champ. Well done you.
