The Dapper.....Dazzling...Decadent......Dramatic.....Deluxe.... Disco Belle Hibiscus....





Remember the Discobelle Hibiscus my friend gave me a few weeks ago??


Well....

Where...

To plant her...

Once the ground...

I am Delirious with happiness over her Dashing blooms...






Hope you all had a great weekend....

  1. Beautiful hibiscus, must add one to my garden. I did get a rose of sharon to add to the back area.
    Lovely to see some rain since late last night. Not sure if it will mean I'll be able to get the fork into the ground though. But it has given me some time to play on the computer a bit more.

  6. LOVE the picture of the hibiscus that looks like a twirling skirt (one up from the bottom picture) ... expect to hear flamenco music and clicking heels ... LOL. Your header picture is great, too ... reminds me I need to get a pedi/mani SOON! Enjoy your week and thanks for sharing the beauty of your world! Linda

  12. So pretty! I love all your flowers.
    I thought I might attempt an escape across the boarder, but with Mom's fall, it's looking less likely at the moment. Maybe an autumn excursion instead... with an apple pie.
