More Hibicus

Finally, the White Hibicus have started to bloom.

Look at all the buds getting ready to bloom.

Beautiful Hibicus (& other flowers)

The STARS of our yard have made their appearance.

We love the large Hibicus flower. They are the size of a salad plate. The actual flower only lasts a day, but the plant has hundreds of buds that will bloom for weeks to come.


Next is a long time favorite of mine, the Moss Rose. I love their sweet little flower and the fact they love the dry summers of Oklahoma. However, right now, it is not dry! We have had a record rainfall this year and may go down in history as the wettest year.


These are in one of my hanging baskets.

Grasshopper?

Ok, there is some debate in my family as to what this guy is. He is green compared to the traditional brown grasshoppers I am use too.

I was watering the first hanging flower basket and pulled out the watering wand and found this guy on it. He stayed on the wand the entire time I was watering. I guess he wanted to be my model for the day.
