I love hibiscus flowers. There are thousands of them I know, but they all obviously share some basics which distinguishes them from the others. I’ve had and still do have several bushes in my garden, unfortunately, they’re very susceptible to the dreaded mealy bug, especially in the summer, and as the summer is already here (and I’ve already had to uproot and young afflicted hollyhock) I do hope that they won’t suffer too much this season.

In any case, this is the first bloom in the two hibiscus bushes I planted in this location at the front garden. I’m very pleased with its dainty and organic appearance. Love the serration on its petals and that stile is quite magestic too, don’t you think?
