Hi all,
Wasn't sure where to put this shot of my hibiscus, creole lady, but I wanted to share it because it's one of the most exotic flowers I grow. The plant is young and has a lot of growing to do but every now and then it pushes a bloom (which, for those not familiar with hibiscus, only last a day!). It's roughly 5 to 6 inches across. The blend of colors is just amazing...totally draws me in. I have it growing in semi hydro in a terra pot and it loves it. The plant is very healthy and growing quickly though I limit it's growth in the short winter days as pruning a hibiscus can mess with its blooming in the summer! I made that mistake with my other hibiscus plant.
The second pic is not representative of the true color. It's much bluer like the first shot.
