  14. Happy Independence Day Autumn Belle! That hibiscus is an old world hibiscus, they were around long before the bigger and fancier ones. It is still a charmer and it seems resistant to many of the pests that plague that family.

  16. Beautiful choice for this meme! I saw H. schizopetalus at a nursery recently and so wished I had room for one. This garden has gotten too full.

    Lovely!

  21. Hibiscus can really change any garden. I have six species, the oddest one: Hibiscus Cannabinus...

    Nice post...
