LOL poor pirl, are you sure that wasn't for her doggie?!

Nery, I know what you mean about swearing off fussy plants like the tropical hibiscus. Last year I had a list of liners I wanted to order but then lost income due to hours cut back so never ordered. From previous purchases, I am down to three survivors. I am just tired of worrying about stuff I have to drag up against the house or inside. But oh, when they do bloom, I just plop myself down and stare in wonder and they mentally t transport me to a tropical island! I come inside and my mouse hovers over clicking on a hibiscus website, and then, I come to my senses, so far.
Come to think of it, I didn't take care of them last year much, no fertilizer, garden got pretty much ignored except for watering because I just had an emotionally draining couple of years so I didn't get any blooms on all three! Shoot, why do I still hang on to them?!
