That is breathtakingly beautiful…much prettier than my son’s cat. You may wonder how the two could even be compared; he named his cat Hecubus, and I could never remember that, so I called it Hibiscus. He’d get irritated, I’d tell him to name it something I could remember. 😆 It was a fun time of teasing back & forth between us. Good memories, and a beautiful flower to remind me.

  Oh LubbyGirl, this is so funny. I have a daughter who names her cats after European royalty – except for Koshka which is cat in Russian. Russian followers, please correct spelling!

Beautiful! I had one that was coral colored that I loved. I brought it in one year when the summer was over and managed to keep it going for a couple of years before it died. You make me want to get another for inside the house!

  The hibiscus are one of the joys of spending time in a semi-tropical area. They grow all over and are constantly beckoning my lens. Can a woman have too many pictures of flowers???? 🙂

Love the hibiscus! Have admired them when getting my flowers in the spring, but couldn’t justify the cost for the summer. Years ago I met someone from California who said geraniums were like weeds in CA. So each year I hated to pay for them! Now I have to add hibiscus to the list!!! You do live in paradise part of the year:-)

  Every day I feel blessed because I remember how the Ocala area would die back in January. We have flowers all winter. Amazing!
