You have time to read a few books yet. LOL! Tropicals seem to take forever. Can't wait to see it bloom. I'm beginning to really love hibiscus. Sure looks healthy.

Don't rush, I am sure the wait will be well worth it. Please post a picture when it finally blooms..

Congrats. It is so much fun to finally get to see a bloom and so disappointing to find that they only last a day or two. I think that is why I've ordered a bunch on the co-op forum. Maybe with a bunch of them, I can have at least one or two with bloom all the time. LOL! Wishful thinking, huh?

Drum roll please......

We came home from church to see this gorgeous little piece of the tropcics right here in the PNW!!! (not that I really had anything to do with it, but I really feel like a proud momma!!)
