Pics of My Hybiscus

[Redfoot NERD]

This one was a surprise don't know the name it was untagged – not quite a double

This is a nice light pink- again don't know the name also untagged - only 4 plants to go I think

I surrender.. Robyn is the new "QUEEN" of Hibiscus pics!

I do however have "Double Purple and Double Pink" to bloom soon..

Aw Shucks, I don't think so. I lucked out with these little gems. most of my plants are in pots some as small as 1 gal. or less and yes I am getting a blossom or two per plant here and their. But Terry I have to say you are by far The Hibiscus man. And don't even get me started as to your beautiful close ups. Can't wait to see your DP and DPs. I am just thrilled I can grow them and provide them for my torts.

Thanks Isa I am looking forward to seeing what I have that hasn't bloomed. Its kinda like waiting to open a present, only it decides when it will open.

Josey ...beautiful pictures. Mine is like yours only red. It is the only one that bloomed, so far. I love that deep pink color. I think I would like a blouse that color. (me..always thinking about shopping)

I scored a nice young Hibiscus plant with a ton of buds on it this morning at the farmers market for $10. They had cold tolerant varieties and the blooms are the size of a large salad plate. Best of all they are all organic! No pesticides or chemicals used to I dont have to worry about waiting 6 months and I can feed the torts some flowers when they bloom next week. I forgot the name of this variety, I will have to look at the tag. I will definitely post pics when they bloom, a couple of them are close and the blooms look dark purple.

Nice color Josey, are hollyhocks OK for torts to eat?
Anja looking forward to seen the blooms of that one you just got.
I got a couple more. I think they are like torts now for me-can't resist But they haven't bloomed yet. Pics when they do.

Yea, this may be dumb but, I am new to torts and I was just wondering what part of that plant can they eat? My mom has some in her garden.

Pesky Fly, Hibiscus can be fed to all torts they eat the leaves as well as the flowers
