hibiscus


These brilliant red hibiscus sprout from a spindly plant which has been fed and watered but has no inclination to grow into a healthy bush.  I grew up with this flower, the national floral emblem of Malaysia.

This hibiscus, a double pink, has been in this pot for years, I was told, when it was given to me by a friend of a friend who was moving to New South Wales.  At times this small bush could have up to four flowers in bloom.  Put into the ground it could grow to a big bush but I think it shall remain in the pot for the time being.
