Nelson's First Hibiscus

[ChiKat]

I know, I know, he's deprived! I could never find any flowers that hadn't been sprayed.
The family I nanny for has the biggest Rose of Sharon bush I have ever seen...so I picked a few today

He didn't like the white one though...walked right over it

Finishing off the preferred flower

Great pics! Boulder has a hibiscus growing in his pen, but he hasn't tried it yet. It is his preffered shady spot though

I know, he is so neglected

Neglected???? Nelson????? Yeah ...right!!! I have loads of seeds left....want some?

 

[ChiKat]

I have a few seeds I swiped from the family I nanny for I also noticed a million plants starting to grow beneath the Rose of Sharon bush, so I might try to transplant some of them...now, while the family is on vacation, so they don't think I'm crazy (well, crazier than they already think I am!)
Thank you for the offer though!! I will definitely keep that in mind.

Under my R of S tree, I have so many little one's coming up. Last year I left a few and now they're about two feet. This Spring I took some out and gave them to friends. When you take them out, make sure you take some of the surrounding soil with the root. Don't put them in the Sun for a few days, and water them really well. They should take, and they do grow pretty fast.

Thank you for the advice!!

Bowser started drooling when she seen those hibiscus. That's her crack too, lol!

Mine enjoy the leaves just as much as the flowers. Might be easier to swipe the leaves,
