Hibiscus

The Hibiscus bush is at about its best at the moment, or was before last night's thunder storm soaked all the flowers. It has been a bit of a relief as it produced very few flowers last year and looked dead in the Spring.

Lots of bees visiting but so far no butterflies.

    1. Wilma: I thought I had lost it in the Spring. All the branches were covered in lichen and looked brittle. Maybe a coating of lichen protected it from the worst of the icy weather we had.
