Hi all. I am pretty knew here and I guess you could say a fairly novice gardener. Since moving to our new home last July, I have spent every available minute getting my yard the way I want it. I am a LONG way from being finished, but gardening has definitely become my passion, and DG folks don't make me feel like a crazy person, unlike some of my family and friends. Anyway, just before we moved, I acquired this hibiscus rooting, and had the little one all rooted in a pot, and waited to plant her at our new home. There were no established beds (well, there were, but might as well not have been due to their condition, yikes.) So, I lovingly planted this baby, anxiously awaiting blooms!. Of course, it died back over the winter and I was afraid I might have lost her. Then sometime when I wasn't looking, here comes this beautiful healthy plant. (It has grown to about 4' tall )Then I again anxiously awaited buds. This morning the first bloom finally opened!! I know it's nothing unusual or special, and I have no idea what her name is, but I knew the folks on this forum could relate.

I'm so proud!!!
