Hi to all
Today I went to a display of hibiscus', what can I say but the colours &
shapes were magnificent.
This was the West Aust hibiscus societys annual exhibition and is well worth
the effort. These people are happy to discuss & guide you with growing these
flowers etc.
I just love them & I came home with a few I hadnt seen before.
cheers
Sandra

Yes a lot of people kinda despise Hibiscus. But they come in a great
variety of shapes as well as flower colour. I think they're great for a
small tree shape in cottage gardens and if aphids are around they'll get
'em which means that ladybird larvae breed up a lot as well and that's a
plus for vegie growers. They're also good as a link plant leading from a
tropical area of garden into a cottagey style.
