thought i'd share this agave and succulent "bell" plant blooming out front
pics other than gessies blooming now
and Hibiscus are one of my favorites and very easy to root cuttings...can't imagine Florida without them
Gorgeous... the colors on that first one are remarkable! I love hibiscus too, and I want to put some in a tropical-looking bed with my new bananas... However, I may settle for the hardier H. moscheutos and H. syriaca (Rose of Sharon & Rose Mallow) rather than the tender tropical ones. I'll try them again this year from seed. I got couple of seedlings last year, but they didn't make it to the end of summer.
I don't have any non-AV's blooming right now -- but by next week, I may have an amaryllis or two to post!
ah critter....my amaryllis outside..won't start blooming until march..but they are a show...and so pretty....I have tried to grow the traditional hollyhocks here for many years...just won't work...i do have some of the native...which are more like the mallows...(which i love)....and the rose of sharon...oh such wonderful memories of those..
