Trio of hibiscus

Standard

Here’s my gift from Sean for Mother’s Day in May. I ended up with 3 different kinds of hibiscus as you can see. Two were in one pot. I decided to put all three in one pot and have been greatly rewarded with color. I love when all three bloom as once like yesterday.


We all went to Wally World as I needed some more potting soil. I had gone to this upscale nursery in Delaware to purchase one water hyacinth ($3.99-geez) to see if it helps with the algae problem. The man who got it out of the pool for me said I should have an entire pond of them in 3 weeks. I’ve had them before and the goldfish that I use to have didn’t like them much. So at the nursery I bought two more beautiful coleus. This one was huge and needs to be repotted.
Also at Wally World I bought three plants for a new hanging basket for out front. They really haven’t reduced anything there, but I love this one plant that looks like little orchids (I have some in the ground). Bri made me get an eggplant and he bought yet another hot pepper plant. I think he has at least 9 plants! I guess that’s his hobby. : )
Anyone know what kind of bird this is?

We thought it was a wren, but their tails stick straight up. The closest we figured was some kind of warbler. They have their nest over our bay window in the family room.
Brother #2 is over mom’s cleaning out a spare room. He just found a bunch of cross stitch leaflets! When I would buy from this lady at the flea market, mom would buy too (only 25¢ each), so she said I could go through them. I just took a huge bag of them to the Goodwill, nothing great and they were taking up space. As I said in an earlier post, I am selling off a bunch in lots on eBay over at the link on the top, ‘Moonlitstitcher’s eBay page’. Many of these I paid full price for.
Have a great Sunday!!

  1. Look at those SUPER hibiscus blooms! Do you plant yours in the yard at end season? I did and each year I have nearly a hibiscus TREE that comes up with most beautiful platter sized red flowers – it comes up every year…

  2. Those hibiscus are beautiful! I sure wish I would have bought those for the big planters at work. They are so much prettier than those geraniums.
