Steady Progress and a Proud Beginning


Our stub-of-a-hibiscus is making steady progress.  Still weeks -- if not months -- away from putting out any blossoms (the "plate-sized" marvels promised us by the salesman), it has nonetheless impressively climbed a foot or so out of the ground, showing no signs of wearying.

In the meantime, the stand-in on the deck offered up this morning its first contribution of the season.  A lovely color, and like any good flowering plant, unabashedly proud of itself.

Make sure you are feeding that dinnerplate regularly. I use MiracleGro for blossoming plants. I'll try to find my pics from past years to show you what's in store for you.
