My Hibiscus

The first picture is of it on Sat. afternoon. The second is Sun. afternoon. It has a huge bloom on it. It is as big as my dinner plates.

2nd

Very Beautiful! So soft and delicate looking... quite lovely!

Nice. I have a couple of the perennials blooming now, but it's been to hot to walk back out with the camera. Maybe tomorrow.

The bloom is almost as big as the plant. Well not quite that big but almost.

Beautiful Bloom!!!

If anyone knows what this one is, I'd sure like to know. It was given to me as Kopper King, purchased from a nursery. It's loaded with buds and so heavy it is falling over. Next year I'll have to stake it for sure.

Brugie, Don't know what it is but I like the crepe papery looking blooms.

Diane, I have lots of plants like this....no names. Seems the squirrels here like to pull tags and over the years, some have become so faded they wouldn't have helped anyway. Many are probably under the mulch, too. I gave up and just enjoy them when the weather isn't so hot that it melts the plants and me. Today is a bad one. Hope your pretty plants are surviving any heat waves out your way.

Brugie,

The plants are doing pretty well if we water almost every day. We had a ban on watering yards but that has ended. We had rain today which was nice so we didn't have to water in this heat. I thought I was the only one on the site that had more noid than named. It is really hard to keep track of those darn tags.

Glad you got some rain. We had a chance last night and it passed us by. I think Des Moines got quite a bit. Now we have a chance daily for about three days. I've got my fingers crossed that some of it will come to us. By the way, the older I get, the less I care what I have named, as long as I can enjoy it. LOL!

Me too
