Warm weather, Not here yet, last night at midnight 15, this morning at 6:30, 24 now 4:29 pm, 44, after tonight not supposed to get above 32 for almost a week, winds tonight or tomorrow also supposed to be about 60 mph. I'm not complaining, basically we have not had a bad winter. but I did test the generators today just in case we need them.

They look awesome. That house is to die for. And let me have a guess at my first ever flower identification, its a pansy.

Hi Yvonne. I'll get to grips with plants and flowers one day, For now as long as I know what a rose is i'll be in the good books with Dawn.

Are there any hibiscus flowers that flower all year round in the right climate?

Thanks

 

[Yvonne G]

I don't think so. The Rose of Sharon blooms all summer. Look into the different types of mallow/malva. I have a Malva sylvestris bush. It blooms all summer long and if the winter isn't too awful cold, continues to bloom through winter. Here's a picture of it as of right this minute:

[Yvonne G]

Love them all but especially the leopards. How did u get so lucky with the one who was dropped off??

 

[Yvonne G]

Well, I don't spend a lot of time in my leopard pen, so I most often miss seeing the females dig nests - unless they're still at it in the evening when I go out to make sure they're all inside. So this baby came from a missed nest and hatched in the big pen, was spied by a cat or a bird, and carried and dropped outside my side door. It was in cooler weather, towards the end of Autumn, and he's very slow to grow.

My hibiscuses [hibisci?] bloom continuously as long as they are watered and not frozen though not nearly as much as during the summer. They are just run-of-the-mill red Florida hibiscuseseses.
