Hawaii in My Backyard

I don't have a beach. Or even a swimming pool. No glorious sunsets with a golden globe sinking into the ocean. You can't see steep rain-forested cliffs from my deck.

But I do have a little slice of the tropics in a pot. Here's my hibiscus in full flower with 15 more blooms on the way.

It's your little bit of portable Hawaii! Cool!

Megan, I discovered that it's not the same kind of hibiscus that grows in Hawaii, but it's close enough!

I love the hibiscus plant. Do you store it over winter?

JACC, I was going to, but I discovered that they're a perennial hardy to zone 5. I guess I should have planted it in the ground!
