Let me in on the secret!!

Please, tell me how do you get all these beautiful hibiscus. When I go to the nursery all I find is the usual tropical hibiscus. I have bought some seed off of ebay, but surely there is another way.

We were very lucky last spring and there was a coop held selling Hibiscus Liners, at a great price. I think you usually have to start buying them early in the spring. I know that is when I start looking for mine. I have gotten alot of mine off EBay also.

If there's a country where one can collect several hundreds varieties of hibiscus just making a phone call or sendind an email that is for sure the U.S. We, who live overseas, are the ones who have problems to do that but not you.

Here are some links to online hibiscus nurseries in the U.S:

I think Carlos wants us all so addicted. LOL. And it is working.

Kell, if you want to get really addicted (we call it hibiscusitis), take a look to these pictures albums from a friend of Florida.
