Friday Favorite


Hibiscus Pink Clouds came to me from a friend at Bluebird Nursery in Nebraska.  She wanted me to try the plant out in my region to see how it would do.  This is the third season for this hibiscus and as you can see it is doing very well. She sent me three and the second summer I had to divide them leaving one in the front garden and moving two to the perennial garden.  




The blossoms are plate size - larger than my hand.




 The blooms last only one day but there are more to follow each day.

 Even the spent casings are beautiful.









It is a favorite bloomer in my garden.
