Red!


Red Hybiscus
Originally uploaded by Other Andrew.


These beautiful big red hybiscus flowers are blooming in the front yard of a neighbour's house, further up my street. I love their deep red, waxy centres and hot red colour.

I know what you mean, this hybiscus plant is about 8 foot high. Really more 'tree' than 'bush'.

We've had a few days of over-the-top there's-something-to-this-global-warming-thing weather of late. Urgh. 44C is unnatural. No snow plow required, so probably a good thing though right?

Word.

It was like the cruelest joke ever. Made me want to lie on my bathroom tiles, panting "make it stop". Instead I cranked the air con to a level where whole suburbs were blacked out, but hey at least I was comfortable!

Loving the botanical porn, TOA. And in the immortal words of da Bunny:

'Hi Biscus!'

I raise pink hybiscus in pots. Mine are not the bush type. Mine come up every year from the roots. My pots are very different and the Hybiscus do well.
