It makes me smile how much c**p this poor hibiscus has been through, what with coming down with mealy bugs, moving, being in and out of doors so often trying to treat aphids, thrips AND spider mites, plus having her hib-mate (my fire and ice) croak on me...

She just takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.

I love 'sturdy' plants. Tis why when I finally have a yard of my own, cannas and hibiscus will abound.


...and orchids :)
