One fearful RF there, just like all of yours. When they see you, they run. Toward you. That's why the shoes. LOL

Terry once again I am speechless

The pics are AMAZING and Sonshine is also amazing :D. Because of all the pics you post, I am starting to really really want a hibiscus plant. It is beautiful plus I am sure Hermy will love to eat the flower. In the store like wal mart or home depot and in the plant store where I live, they only sell the plants (they dont sell the seeds) so they probably use a fertilizer or something. If I want Hermy to eat the flowers I will have to wait and make the hibiscus live for at least 1 year. In the winter, do you think the plant is going to survive if I keep in inside?

Thanks

Isa

Isa, you live in Montreal correct. I believe you'll find that Rose of Sharon, which is a hibiscus, will grow well there as will hardy hibiscus ( H.moscheous) in a sheltered area. These are tropicals I believe and as such you would bring them in in winter. I don't know how well they grow from seed but even than you have a year or two wait before you can feed them to torts (thats how long for maturity)

Thanks Larry
