Hibiscus....

These two photos are from the Des Moines Zoo garden. The size of the flowers are at least eight to ten inches across. I guess that is why the common name for them is dinner plate hibiscus. I lost my pink plant like this but I have a new start of one of the plants that was a gift from a neighbor. I doubt it blooms this year but it will get it's root structure established this year.

Splendid ! I have both red two hibiscus.
It is a pity that flowers live just on or two days.

Cold Morning

 It is cold and the wind is strong form the north. It feels like winter and yet is is fall.
