Flower Show Prize

This is a picture of my hibiscus that won a first prize in the horticulture section of our recent Garden Club flower show. I hadn't even thought to enter it until the morning of the show when it woke up with two flowers on it. it is still in its early spring leaf out stage after overwintering in my sunroom. I love the bicolor flowers. It was a rescue plant from the supermarket. It had lost its flowers and the market marked it down and I was surprised when I got the first blooms. I have had this about three years now and this is the first time it bloomed in time for the show.

Very pretty, Martha. I love those supermarket rescues.

here's a picture of the flower from this plant from the first summer I had it. I use it for my wallpaper on the computer.

Congratulations on first prize!

Congrats Martha....good job!

Thanks! This plant also made the show because it was one of the few of my hibiscus that my "devil dog" Noodles the mini dash-hound hadn't managed to make into a doggie salad course. sigh. It's what I get for making her wear cute outfits, I guess, which she hates.

LOL, I don't make my puppy wear anything and he still loves to prance around the yard with a flower pot in his mouth. Then, I have to search for whatever was formerly in that pot!
BTW, congratulations!

gardenmart,
what a beautiful bloom! Congratulations on the award... you deserve it after saving that beauty.
