My regular hibiscus (I think it's a type of Hibiscus syriacus or Hibiscus moscheutos; based on the leaves, I'm leaning towards H. syriacus) is in almost full bloom and yesterday I discovered my first blossom of the year of Hibiscus schizopetalus. I expect the latter to be open in the next day or two.

Cheers, Eric

Looks like Hibiscus sriacus "Hamabo".

Hardy in the UK, but like a good summer to bloom well.

Thanks Darrel.


H. schizopetalus is now opened up. First bloom since I added the stems to the tank last June.

Cheers,
Eric
