Sharing a lovely blue sky from my yard back in the summer. My hibiscus plant was growing toward the sky. It looks like it is reaching for the sky. Don’t you agree? I am patiently waiting for spring when the plants start to bloom again in my yard. In the meantime the cooler temperatures are here. So I will make the best of them. Trees will be planted tomorrow. An exciting day.
Hibiscus are deciduous shrubs with dark green leaves; the plants can grow to 15 feet tall in frost-free areas. Flowers may be up to 6 inches diameter, with colors ranging from yellow to peach to red. Hibiscus can be planted singly or grown as a hedge plant; they can also be pruned into a single-stemmed small tree. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Heard about these beautiful flowers, but never seen them. They look marvellous against the blue sky!!!
I love these and have been around them my entire life.
2018 is the 4th wettest year on record in the DMV. It is then, of course, raining today!
I did not know that. It rained last night as well but cold wind today, only highs at 40.
Blue skies shining at me, nothing but blue skies ….. We have a few clouds today!!
This is such a beautiful contrast to that lovely blue sky. What did you plant?
Love that song, now it’s in my head. 🙂 Nothing planted, cancelled due to ice on the trees. Adding a red dogwood in the front, white pines to the back (due to the houses being built), crepe myrtles on the side, a couple of more blue cypress, and small variegated boxwoods in the front.
Oh wow, I hadnt heard about the white pines, great choice, and green all year long. Won’t take long for them to get big either. I cant wait for next years photos. That sounds like a lot of planting. I hope you get a good day soon. Happy planting! 😀
Yes we already have five mature pines but need more!
mixed clouds with sun here in Athens, Greece
Greece, wow thanks for checking in. Would love to see your country.
today the sky was a hazy shade of winter
How was your temperatures, probable nice.
Today was quite nice indeed…
Another song, I like yours better. Paul is my hero.. 🙂
Yes I love all types of music.
nice contrast against the blue sky.
Thanks gotta love that blue sky, but it didn’t last.
A very lovely plant! I am also waiting patiently for the summer. I am very sleepy in fall… our weather is a bit gloomy, cool, windy and snowy. 2 days ago snow covered the ground. Watching summer pics helps to improve low spirits.
Thank you, I love them. I have three in the front yard. Cold here today with a cold wind.
We do not have good weather, a few days it rains
It has started raining now, the sun did not last.
We do not have a blue sky-a whole day of rain falls Carol
Still a lot of rain for you. We have rain now.
Then there is nothing better for you
This is gorgeous! The weather here went from fog, to a sunny sky, to rainy clouds just in a day.
Thanks. Same here, the sun did not last long.
Cloudy all day at my place!
You are like my mother who loves hibiscus.
Yes it is beautiful. Raining here now, the sun is gone.
Very nice photo Carol.
Thank you.
Thanks Robin, good to see you.
