In the early morning, hibiscus flowers are closed like a fist. When the sun comes out, they open to reveal their faces.

I just glanced at this flower growing in the pot where normally kalanchoe grow and went in to get my camera. It was only while I was transferring it into my photos that I realized those were definitely not kalanchoe leaves. I have no idea what it is or how it got there. Either I bought something I didn’t know the name of or it is a volunteer brought in by another plant. At any rate, it is thriving there and the kalanchoes all seem to be gone, so I will enjoy it as a mystery unless some kind soul tells me what it is. This entire bunch is about 2 1/4 inches across. Happy Solstice!

I just noticed this cream-colored hibiscus with a red throat for the first time–two blooms in among a bush with a profusion of bright coral blooms. It is on a good-sized bush that has woven itself into the fabric of the other even larger bush, so must have been there for a long time as I haven’t planted hibiscus along that wall for over ten years. Where has it been hiding all these years? Or is it I who have been hiding? This period of forced isolation has revealed some amazing secrets about my back garden and after all these years I am beginning to feel that instead of this house belonging to me that I belong to it.
