I have always admired Hibiscus bushes... but have never grown one...
until now... and wowzers, my 1st bloom... and yes, the hummingbirds spotted it! Whoot Whoot!
I need to get a new camera... as this is a terrible photo.. but I was just sooo excited...

Grace...my mom has a hibiscus that gets blooms the size of saucers.
I think she uses Miracle Grow on it...but I heard that Epsom salt
works good around plants too.
Pretty Flower...one of my favorite.
Hugs,
Peggy

I remember when daddy was in Korea, mom and I lived out in the country with my American grandma,,, and on the fence by the outside wash room she had this ginormous (everything is ginormous when you are 8yrs old!)... red Hibicus bush... and I was always mesmerized by the visiting hummers!
The 2nd bloom opened this morning.... now my hummers have, lots of food sources... this Hibiscus, the Bedellia (butterfly bush), the lavender, the roses...(to hide in) and 3 feeders... fun to watch... they are so territorial, so busy chasing each other off while the others sneak in and drink... just luv 'em....
