This beauty was in my friend Gloria’s garden. It would look great in an arrangement with Cee’s flaming hot peppers.

Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Dec 13, 2018
This beauty greeted me when I left my kitchen this morning. It is dinner-plate sized! But, I spotted foam on one of the leaf joints and saw a bud that had been chewed off and was lying on a leaf below. Sure signs of spittle bugs. Went to town to buy habanero chilis and garlic. Blended 1/2 cup of the habaneros and 6 cloves of garlic with two cups of water and will leave for 24 hours, then combine with dish soap and spray on the plant. A non-toxic to the environment (other than spittle bugs) solution to these hibiscus-eaters.

Xmas Hibiscus, Nov 28, 2018
Gray skies and cold rain all day long but this hibiscus reminds me of Xmas just over the hill.
R.I.P. Hibiscus. Really. The Very Last Shots
The last of this one, at least. Pasiano swept it away today, but not before I got these shots.

Eulogy for Hibiscus: FOTD Nov 26, 2018
Yesterday I said that it was the last photo of my welcome home hibiscus that I would post, but at the request of forgottenman, I am publishing two more stages of its life. This morning I went outside to find the flower fallen to the terrace floor, but when I opened its clasped fist, I found that forgottenman was right and there was still more beauty to display, so here is a medium shot of a hibiscus at rest and tomorrow will be the last two closeup shots. R.I.P. hibiscus beauty.

I’ve been zeroing in on this hibiscus since I got home 5 days ago. This one is about as personal as I’m going to get! You can click on it to zero in a bit more.
