In my previous post, I mentioned a tidbit on how well the flowers in our yard are doing...and after planting my newest hibiscus in the flower garden, I had to snap a photo of it to share. In turn, I walked around the yard a moment or two and took more photos to show the colors and shadows early in the morning:
Top to bottom/Left to right:
Rose colored -Hibiscus
Lemony yellow [one of my favorites!] -Hibiscus
My newest yellow with red center -Hibiscus
Cormorant in a tree - City park
One of two variegated leaf Hibiscus [hybrid and miniature in size]
Salmon multi-petal -Hibiscus
Mexican Bird of Paradise bush [love the fern-like leaf clusters! This one was grown from a seed pod that I took when we left our yard in Tucson]
Don Juan Climbing Rose
Hot pink -Hibiscus during the sprinkler system watering
...and at night again...the ephyllium blossom. [2nd time in a little over a month it brought on blossoms!!!]

The flowers are beautiful! I have always like hibiscus flowers. The Cormorant picture is really good too!
ReplyDeleteIt's not all that unusual to see one perched in a tree, but it's still something that astounds me to see them ---their feet shouldn't be adapted for branch perching. But somehow they accomplish it.
DeleteThe lemony coloured hibiscus is really so lovely! I don't think I have seen this shade of hibiscus before! And the others look delightful and healthy!
ReplyDelete...so far they're healthy...but later in the Summer they'll not produce as well.
DeleteYour flowers are sooo pretty. The climate there is ideal for pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and doing the poll thingy. I was very interested in how bloggers were feeling about this touchy issue...there's so many more important stuff going on (as in Wash.)that I am not giving this much thought.:)

...Washington....you got that right!!!
DeleteI love hibiscus- they seem tailor made for this climate, and yours are gorgeous! All your plants and blooms are. Lovely lovely lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo do I...they're so 'tropical'!!
DeleteI love the different colored hibiscus, they are all beautiful. Lovely images, Anni! Happy Sunday to you!
ReplyDelete...have a great Monday [and week] Eileen, thanks!
DeleteThat yellow with red is startling - it's so vivid. The Don juan is one of my favorite climbers.
ReplyDelete...it's such a deep, rich, velvety red, isn't it?
DeleteMy husband asked me if I missed my garden (we downsized last November). I said no other than photographing it!
ReplyDelete...lol, and I keep adding more color.
DeleteI simply love hibiscus, and yours are stunning. But that night flower... Wow! :-)
ReplyDelete...wow is right, I'm determined to buy more of these beauties online somewhere. The nurseries around town don't sell them. Dunno why!! And the fragrance just stepping out the door is so wonderful.
DeleteYou have such pretty flower. I don't have much of anything in my yard any more. I tore up one flower bed last year because it was overtaken by weeds and I just hadn't been taking care of it.
ReplyDeletelol...which reminds me of one time Bud was out in our backyard in Colorado, spraying weeds....and he sprayed along the foundation. Only to kill off every single 4 o'clock plant there! They never did come back up.
DeleteSo very lovely.
ReplyDelete...you're always so complimentary dear one. Thanks!
DeleteI LOVE Hibiscus, and yours are real show stoppers!!! I have only ever seen cormorants in the water, not way up on trees!!!
ReplyDelete...it isn't a usual occurrence, but sometimes they do perch. It's the webbed feet that curl around the branches that astounds me!!
DeleteWow, Colorful an strong...Nice photos !!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
...thanks Timur.
DeleteWe know what color YOUR thumbs are!!! And I am GREEN with envy!
ReplyDeletepea green maybe...I kill houseplants quite easily. Without much effort at all.
DeleteI love your hibiscus flowers. We can't grow them outdoors and I never get them to survive in my window.
ReplyDelete...they wouldn't do well indoors for me either, of that I am sure.
Deletethank you for sharing your lovely blossoms; have a nice Monday
ReplyDeletemuch love...
...thanks for the compliment Gillena!
DeleteOh, Anni, you have some gorgeous blooms in your garden.

...yes, it bloomed a 2nd time. Only ONE blossom tho...but still. I was in total surprise.
DeleteThanks for letting me enjoy your lovely flowers. Nothing I love more than pretty blooms.Best wishes too on obtaining so many visitors. Good for you.
ReplyDelete...thank you kindly LV. You are part of that number!!
DeleteThat yellow hibiscus is really stunning, very unusual, at least to me.
ReplyDelete...to me also. I've seen white ones with pink centers and pink ones with white centers, but never the yellow and red. I couldn't resist adding this one to our yard.
DeleteYour flowers, actually your entire garden, are beautiful. The bold hues are what we love to see around our abode, each one adding a glow to our everyday at home. The bird loos at the photographer and decides that his/her best side is ready for the shot - a proud yet beautiful avian!
ReplyDelete...your comments always contain a fraction of poetry Ralph. Thanks.
DeleteLove hibiscus. Lovely images..I really like the red rose against blue sky.
ReplyDelete...I do too, it's one of my favorite roses.
DeleteBeautiful post, we love the Hot pink -Hibiscus too. Our day-lilies seem to be blooming very nicely too.
ReplyDelete...those day lilies are a very hardy plant!!!
DeleteFor the first time in several years, we did not purchase any hibiscus. I kind of miss them. Nice images. Happy RT.
ReplyDeleteHappy RT to you too Driller!
DeletePretty blooms.
ReplyDeleteyou and I shared blossoms today!
