Hibiscus Gardens Around the World

Queensland, Australia

Ciel Tienney & Matthew Rodney Blooming in Queensland

This is the hibiscus garden of Brenda and Colin Dennis who live 2 hours north of Brisbane in the State of Queensland, Australia. Queensland is commonly known as the Sunshine State - a wonderful place for hibiscus, as you can see from these photographs of their beautiful garden.

Hibiscus Garden Soon after Planting

This was their garden when they first planted it with baby hibiscus.

3 Years Later

This is the same view 3 years later. It's amazing how fast their hibiscus grew! The "Sunshine State" is a great place for hibiscus to grow, and Brenda and Colin tend their garden with loving care.

Another View

This is another view of their huge, 2-acre hibiscus garden. Hibiscus bloom in Queensland, Australia all year long.

A Dainty Hibiscus

Here is another section of their garden.

Australian Variety 'Brendan'

All of the hibiscus shown here are Australian hybrids. This hybrid is 'Brendan,' named by Brenda and Colin after a 10-year-old Australian boy who died of Adrenaleukodystrophy - a very beautiful hibiscus for a very special little boy.

Australian Variety 'Rosemary Ann'

Australian Variety 'Long Tan'

On the right is 'Long Tan,' named after a battle in the Viet Nam War. It commemorates the Australian soldiers, "diggers," who died in Viet Nam. Colin was a digger, and nearly one who died! The hybrid on the left is 'Araluen Kim,' named after Colin's youngest daughter.
