Hibiscus

Yes it is simular to a Cistus is nt it Paul thank you but this is a lot bigger its like a small tree.

I was thinking cistus too, looks a very pretty colour.

Very pretty mine are still tight buds ..

Lol yes it does look simular does nt it Kate thank you.

Thank you Amy I am surprised yours are in bud have you got it in a shady part as I jad some fir years they never flowered as I did nt reakise tgey like the sun and I had placed them in deep shade . Since I placed this one in a morning sun area it flowers every year. My other is in afternoon sun has just started to flower but only a few.

such a beautiful flower, aye?

I nearly cut mine down with the weedeater! it's been struggling the last two years... no buds yet.

Is it facing south Lori it needs a sunny position.

thanks 3d. maybe that's my problem. Perhaps I'll move it when it goes dormant. ;-)

Your very welcome Lori I had two which never flowered when I had them moved and planted facing south they flowered .
