A truly lovely collection of Hibiscus. Selamat Hari Merdeka
ReplyDeleteUseful photo glossary of hibiscus! Thanks for the article. :)
ReplyDeleteMy Hibiscus syriacus plant died. I'm trying to find a replacement plant.
Happy Independence Day!
Happy Merdeka Day, Autumn Belle!
ReplyDeleteThose are some beautiful Hibiscus. Nice choices.
ReplyDeleteCher Sunray Gardens
WOW!!!!! What beautiful hibiscus you have. Your collection makes me want to go out to buy more for my own gardens. I love the purple one, double flower. Sea hibiscus is what is growing over our driveway from our neighbor's property. I have 5-6 different ones growing in my gardens. You have some real beauties.
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day ~ FlowerLady
What a beautiful collection of Bunga Rayas. Your garden must be very inviting to butterflies. Happy Merdeka Day to you too AutumnBelle.
ReplyDeleteA truly fabulous collection of gorgeous Hibiscus. I have some of the varieties and I love them all.
ReplyDeleteAB, great hibiscus gallery! Happy Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way to celebrate your wonderful independence day...this flower is so exotic. Similar to or hardy one but not as exotic. Happy Independence Day!!
ReplyDeleteAll of the photos are stunningly beautiful! The yellow hibiscus is my favorite. Happy Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteYour full page of HIBISCUS made me realised how fortunate I have a collection though less than you published, but they are mine as planted by me! It gave me FAITH not to chop them off for year 2014 growing session! In this year, I ever thought of chopping them off as I thought what is the use of flowers if food is essential meant I want to give way to planting more vegetables than flowers..!
ReplyDeleteAh, stunning! Words in my comments can't begin to describe the beauty. The ones with the raindrops are especially lovely. We can only grow hardy Hibiscus here--but they're beautiful, too. Happy Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of flowers and colors. Your pictures are so inspiring
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Ela
