This is one of my favorite plants given to me by a dear friend when my mother died. This year it started blooming in mid July and has blossoms on it today.

My tropical ones stopped blooming in September and my perennial one never got taller than 2 feet with tiny buds...still hoping it will bloom somehow!

Yours is perfectly lovely! Thanks for posting it! They are one of my favorite flowers!

It's a hardy one so it stays out
All the time, even with our cold upstate
NY winters

My hardy hibiscus are done blooming, too. I have a light pink one that is huge and a dark pink. Love 'em.

Yours is beautiful.

Beautiful Bloom. Pinks are always a favorite color in the garden.
