Hibiscus: Proud Momma of my Garden Variety Hibiscus, 1 by LhasaLover

I so enjoy seeing all of everyones beautiful hibiscus. I currently only own two garden variety hibiscus. One in particular I bought about 5 years ago in a little 4" pot. I have brought her in each winter and protected her from the temps as low as 12 degrees... repotted her as needed and figured out how to keep her alive in our dry 112 degree heat. This spring we has weeks of constant wind after I moved her out and she had to stay out and bear the 40 to 60 mph winds... after looking beautiful and blooming all winter for me the winds took nearly every leaf off! Now, about 4 weeks later and lots of TLS she is fighting back. Here she is today... 3 blooms.. only 2 visible because is turned the opposite way. She is rewarding me with 1 to 7 blooms a day and leafing out wonderfully.. a great Mothers day!
