Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

It looks very sorrowful 😢😢😢

Doesn’t it Jane? Aw well all good things etc @pelly

Exactly, and you get a new pear tree 😍

😪😪

Aww 😔😔

Oh dear. RIP Hibiscus tree. Not a sign of life this year. It was a fabulous tree for over ten years and to survive this far North was always a surprise to me. Still. One dead plant is a planting opportunity. I fancy a cordon pear to replace it.

Oh no, have you fed it? I bought one earlier this year and it's looking healthy, but no flower buds yet. Your poor Hibiscus 😓

Think it’s just old age Christine. @midnightgardener

@jendren Still, it's a shame. It's done very well. Maybe that's their life span? I don't know really 🌈

It did extremely well all things considered

Greetings from Lanzarote. The hibiscus are really enjoying this heat. Me too after the cold and wet at home. Some r&r was deserved.

Have a great time! Fab photo 😍

Perfection 😍😍. Gorgeous photo

A little later than usual. But a very welcome sight nonetheless. 💜

My blue bird is almost out too!

Love the colour😍

Pretty shade of purple 😍😍

#bestofaugust I’m with you Joan @joanboston It’s got to be the hibiscus. It’s been smothered in flowers all month and is still going strong. 💜

Such a surprise for me, saw this one on GT a few years ago and decided I had to try it. Didn’t think it would do well this far north!

It has certainly been a very good summer for hibiscus.

My thoughts exactly. I bought mine in B&Q Belfast thinking it would never survive and it’s been fab. I think it must be about seven years old now @joanboston

A wonderful thing to have

Yes it’s lovely Patricia. A little touch of tropical 🏝 @pattygardd

Hibiscus tree and red rose look great against a lovely blue sky this morning.

Glorious!

After so many grey mizzly days here it’s lovely to see. @rachelbrooks

Brill! Enjoy Nicola! 🌞🌞🌞

What an amazing colour 💜💜

Stunning Nicola💜❤💙

My trusty hibiscus is starting to bloom. And it’s covered in buds 😍. Fortunately I took this photo last night as it’s pouring outside this morning 💦💧☔️

Bluebird?

Unfortunately it died two years ago. @mrmurf
