... first blooms on a Hot, Hot, Hot day...

Goodness! It is hot out there! But that didn't stop me from running out the door this morning because I knew the hibiscus blooms were coming. That's one nice thing about perennial hibiscus. You can almost always predict the day there will be blooms because the buds begin to peak. Of course, wildlife do find hibiscus flowers tasty (as do some who drink tea). I expect two blooms but the third one surprised me... and what a nice surprise it was!

Oh, if you haven't been up close to a perennial hibiscus, the blooms are as big as one's face!
