So as it would happen, the second of my hybrids to bloom was blown onto its side by some of the strong winds we've been having here in Hawaii. Unfortunately by the time I got to it, the bugs had their way with most of the petals of the flower.
Even though most of the flower has been chewed away, I can tell that this flower is going to be beautiful keiki to keep around. The flower is a lot tougher than the last hybrid that bloomed and the shrubbery is very green and ornamental. The next bud is on its way and will open in just a few days. I will post a pic when I get the chance. For now here is a pic of the bud!
On a side note, I visited Ladybug Nursery in Waimanalo and took a look at some of the beautiful plants that they have to offer and spoke with their friendly staff. I saw many plants that I liked but remembering I am on a student budget, I didn't get anything. On my way out one of the workers gave me a hibiscus that had been miscategorized! That was so generous! I'm not sure what the flower is going to look like but the flower should bloom within a few days. Here's a pic!
Thanks for reading! I should be posting again soon. New blooms always await!
