Hibiscus in my garden

[Freedom]

Seems all the rain for 9 weeks helped the plants develop LOTS of buds. Now we have sun and heat, and they are blooming up a storm!

This is just 2 of the 5 hibiscus plants in my front yard.

What a lovely color! The hibiscus I have are purple. I like your red much better!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love hibiscus and would have a big bush by my front door if I lived in a hot place. :D

The colour and also the size, quite a big flower!!

Did you know that in Upper africa and the middle east they dry up the flower and make hibiscus tea? In Egypt its called Karkade and they say Sudanese is the best karkade you can get! I tried it and its really good, plus you can chill it in the fridge and drink it like iced tea

I live in a hot place, but don't have room for a hibiscus by my front door :(

Though have it in the yard :D

Hmm, I dry my catnip in my microwave, so maybe I can dry some flowers and make a tea. Thanks! :love:
