Thanks! It looks like a Dupont Hibiscus. I love those.
I love spiders, and that is an awsome shot!
Someone sent me some gingers , about 5 of them, and I buried them in tall containers ( white plastic commercial shortening tubs) with a hole in the bottom and some peat and perlite mix.. I didn't think they had made it and when I undid one, it was crowning. I also found a shriveled up dahlia tuber I forgot about when I was out gathering seeds in October, I undid that bag seeds and there it was.. anyway I planted it and now I have a dahlia peeking thru. I am so happy!, I also planted a dahlia dead head, and now I have a little dahlia peeking thru. again, I am overjoyed. *sigh*
I have been down there still re-arranging.. calling it a night .. I am glad we stayed home tonight.. I felt like I was out in the yard all day.
another cheerful bloom greeted me..
