This jungle forms a privacy wall between my neighbor and me. Good fences make good neighbors! We love conversing back and forth over this one. If I’m in my gazebo and they’re on their high balcony porch, we can see each other, but I can still skinny dip in perfect privacy.

One of my new hibiscus plants seems to like its new location. Although the plant is small and only a week old, it has already produce four blooms. These twins popped out the day before yesterday and look at all the buds that are getting ready to produce more blooms! They are the size of my hand with the fingers completely spread out.

This is the other new hibiscus I bought a few days ago, but must admit I bought one yesterday as well. My vivero has started raising some new varieties and putting them out on the street when their flowers are at their height and who can resist? Not me.

Hibiscus: FOTD May 24, 2020

This is the new dinner-plate sized hibiscus I just bought two days ago. Click on photos to enlarge:

I actually think it looks a bit like a hollyhock! It has bloomed twice in the past three days and as you can see, there are more buds  set to bloom. Pasiano planted this one so it is directly in front of the hammock, facing directly towards it.
