Wild Grape went crazy a couple of days, so I snapped a pic:
Also, I finally got my Cindy's Heart back from the greenhouse again, and here it is blooming next to Wild Grape yesterday. I put them together to cross pollinate and thought it was too pretty to pass up the pic.
One more pic to show the set up in our living room. The sun is so direct and blistering hot in our house that I pull our total black-out shades down by mid-day. Our house could be a greenhouse! Our living room has many windows on 3 out of the 4 sides - east, south, and west. So it's sunny all day long, in all seasons.
The hibiscus that are outside have to be protected from our desert sun on a porch. I'll try to snap some pics of them this week too. When they bloom, I pick the flowers and bring them inside so they don't get cooked in the sun, and I'm using a bugblaster on them almost every day to cool them down. There's definitely a learning curve learning how to grow hibiscus in a hot desert climate - especially for a northern mountain girl!
