Hibiscus rosa-sinensis - Tropical Hibiscus

looks really nice.

Thanks. :>)

Almost looks like a crumpled piece of paper, but that's what I like about it - it's different.

What beautiful colours.....

Bathgate:

Yes, it has the crumpled paper look. I think this flower was on it's way out (as it was evening). The flowers only last one day.

Milky:

Yes, this one has some beautiful colors which isn't so typical for tropical Hibiscus.

both of my hibiscus (syriacus) survived last winter and struggled thro a very cool summer. By September they had set buds but we had a very early, very hard frost and they were nipped in the bud ..so to speak. I was so disappointed but have taken extra trouble to cover them for winter so I hope we get a good mantle of snow to protect them thro the worst months. Will cloche them early in hopes of blossom in July/August.

I wish you the best of luck for next year's flowers! H. syriacus is suppose to be a very hardy plant. I'm surprised the flowers are so tender.

I love these showy plants, such fantastic colours.

Most people have several in their gardens. In my immediate block there's several hundreds. I really like the large-flowered pink, yellow and red varieties.
