Ok - after a few weeks' hiatus, I've got a couple of pretty blooms to share. The first is very exciting for us. We have our first bloom of our "Fort Myers" Hibiscus cultivar. The parents of one of my good childhood friends is the hybridizer, and my DH thought it was imperative that we have a couple of the hibiscus named after our town, so we planted two on our 19th anniversary. I was worried about their buds with the freezing temps, but today we have Bloom Number One!
