Today is another two red hibiscus day! I didn’t see this one coming; I usually see the buds forming and can estimate when they’ll bloom and happily anticipate them but the second one was a pleasant surprise! The fertilizer must be working. However, it can only be applied quarterly.
The hummingbird came back for my fuchsia petunias this morning—just as I was watering the basket. Seeing me, he or she flitted to a nearby branch to sit and wait. The first time I saw this I was astounded since I had never seen a hummingbird be still. I recently read somewhere, perhaps in Birds & Blooms, that hummingbirds spend the majority of their time resting. That could just be the key to more energy!
