The hibiscus flowers have recently been blooming in great profusion.

Hibiscus “plants” are actually considered to be woody shrubs or small trees; they can grow to three metres (10 feet) or more.

They come in a variety of colours and are also known as “rose mallow” and “rose of Sharon.”

Whatever they’re called, they are beautifully showy and frilly additions to a garden, especially if you are looking for something that will grow to quite a height and perhaps also provide some privacy as well as lovely flowers.

Happy Monday.
