Hello Hibbie Pro's -

Can you help me? I am a beginning gardener...and I've found that Hibiscus is my favorite flower! I planted 4 last year. I've added in 2 more this year.

This one (see attached pic) is a new one from this year and produces my most spectacular flower! We planted it early in the season (April?) and it burst open with bloom after bloom.

It took a break for quite a while....a couple months? So a week ago I used some of the bloom fertilizer.

Another factor....in June we had quite a drought. But I tried to keep it watered. Beginning a week ago...we are now having some hard drenching rains....

I can't bear to see this plant fallen over like this! 2 days ago I found it was somewhat fallen over. Now I see it has fallen even more. The rains have been heavy...

This plant is FULL of leaves, and I've noticed quite a few new blooms. I've propped it up with the wire from a street sign....

Can you help me solve this mystery? What should I do? All my other hibbies are doing fine....
