Hi @Dinu ...oh yes this is a better photo of your hibiscus (the other one you sent before appeared more pinkish) and in a better light to show the true colors. I had one just like it that i bought at a local garden center. It kicked the bucket...in the days before i learned how to not over water. Remember her? And now we have sister white quamoclits (but i grew mine from seed)...half way around the world. I wish we had sister jacs

Oh nastersiums I tried growing these down here, but they did not grow well. When we were kids we used to suck the nectar from the flowers...in retrospect i guess we were robbing the bees of their lunch. Do you ever eat them @zigs ?

I do, but there a bit peppery

I thought my hardenbergia looked good last winter. This year it is really strutting it's stuff and has for months

Spectacular @DeborahJane . I don't know this bush, but i should be able to grow it where i live. I'm going to look it up right now. About how old is it? And where've you been anyway? Ooh, it is an Australian native. I love the purple one. Of course i like the white one better.
