Busy summer with serious family health issues, but my hardy hibiscus are surrounding my back yard with beautiful blooms with absolutely no effort on my part. What a blessing! Though we had a harsh winter that killed the roses and butterfly bushes back to the ground, the hibiscus did not seem affected at all. So last evening, I looked out and there sat a squirrel chomping away on a pink hibiscus flower! I could understand them eating the seeds, but never thought they would like the flowers. Like a big pink salad! We have so many blooms, it's not a problem - just funny! Still can't believe all these came from one clump from my dear aunt twenty some years ago....
