That is gorgeous @Mags, but I was expecting to ask you who had dared to take your hibiscus.

@Mags …am I right in believing that a Hibiscus flower only lasts for one day?
Some beauties on this thread, thanks for sharing.

@pauline3 The flowers last a bit longer than a day Pauline and there are continuous buds for a few months on the tree. :grinning:

@Mags , it must be a Hybrid then Mags, as I have read a Hibiscus flower only lasts a day.

I used to be very fond of Hibiscus (national flower of Malaysia) and grew a variety of them. For some reason I fell out with them and now have none, personally I used to prefer the double variety rather than the singles.

Same thing happened with Camelias, again I now have none since my tea plants died in the last drought.

Fabulous Mags
I used to live in the tropics and had in May garden what was called a ‘blushing hibiscus ‘
It came out white then slowly turn red .
Great for a dinner party you picked it in the morning when it was white and put it in the fridge .
When you brought it out for the table in the evening it would turn colour before your eyes .

Thank you @Muddy.

Your “blushing hibiscus’ sounds lovely, I would love to have one which changes colour. :grinning:

Thank you Bratti :slightly_smiling_face: I always look forward to its flowering time when it is at its best.

I’m wondering if they grow in my planting zone.
That’s something I shall research ‘cause I really quite fancy them :thinking: :slightly_smiling_face:
