Nice one !

I was going to pick up a exact same looking one last week called 'Cool Wind' - Click here and chose white color
I may have to go back and see if there are any left! ...

Is that one the perennial hibiscus? The ones that die off in the winter and reseed themselves for the spring? Their stems are usually more lanky and their blooms can become the size of saucers. It looks like it by the spadix.

Reminds me of a Rose of Shannon

I have more than too many Hurricane Lily Hibiscus. I have 3 plants.. If anyone is interested, I am asking $2.50 plus the price of postage for a nice leafy plant whose stem is woody. They have buds on them. I will send them bare rooted but bagged in sphag moss to keep the postage at a minimum.
The photo is a picture of 4 plants (one plant is taken) that I will separate.
Let me know - I'd like to make a mass mailing on Monday

Ok Dave - here is the display of Hurricane Lilies you have to look forward to when your hibiscus bloom. My other photos of a more complete pic of the others with them was just too blurry ..
Enjoy

I was given a potted one as a gift 2 years ago. I don't have a greenhouse so I just put it in my basement, on a table near my HPS light, and it winters over there. It will bloom until early winter, and then takes a rest. In the spring, I put it outside again and it will pick up as if it had never been disturbed. It is time now to take it in again. My biggest problem is I live alone and it is rather heavy, almost a 2 person job.
