Nice seeing all the wonderful exotic hibiscus!

PollyK, you have must have some juicy ones in that huge bathroom.

Love that pale yellow one that Boojum is growing.

Pixie, thanks for sharing that site, Hidden valley, and that one you liked called Saffon. I don't dare think about them as they can get so big. I will look at all of the others, when I feel strong, very strong, to resist.

We have an old one that we have had since the late 70's, but it is just a plain old red. It is now a huge tree and it's biggest gift is it's leaves that my DH uses to make the chocolate leaves for the yule logs he gives to all our friends for Christmas each year. They have just the right amount of oil in them to release the chocolate, plus they are big with nice veins. We were given a lovely pink hibiscus standard this fall as it had grown too big for the owner. No idea of the name. Lucky us! We have another fine peachy double one that is also a standard that I bought a couple of years ago at BJ's for 15.00, but we don't have any exotic ones except one that we did buy one at Logee called "The Path' in 2007, but it is still small and struggling.
