Judy Evans @JudyEv (371316) • Rockingham, Australia 18h

I wrote a while back that a bud had fallen off one of my hibiscuses. Since then, it has had a flower which you can see in the photo. The fallen bud is still on the ground in the background. Isn’t it pretty? The other shrub has...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (42) • United States 9 Feb
