What a pleasant surprise to find not one or even two red hibiscus flowers this morning—but three! I’m not sure my bush has ever had that many flowers at once! It's tending toward being leggy though I’ve wanted the height in order to block some of the intense sun. However, I read in a houseplant book I found at the library that they can be pruned in the spring—maybe I’ll do that next year and make more blossoms possible. Maybe I can even grow some new ones with the stem cuttings.
A week ago, I saw some small hibiscus plants for an unheard of $4.99. But, I thought, I’m not sure if some are orange so I’ll wait ‘til they’ve bloomed out a bit by next Saturday when we’re here again. Too late, they were gone. The store plant lady said, “Oh but they were an opportunity buy so they’re all gone!” Well, I missed that opportunity but surely there will be another one…somewhere.
