Hibiscus lifespan


The hot weather has brought out one of the most spectacular blooms in our conservatory, the hibiscus. Once it gets going we get a continuous succession of flowers well into the winter.







From any angle they look attractive.



Sadly, each bloom only lasts for a couple of days at best, which seems like an awful lot of triuble to goto for such a short life span



Finally, before dropping off, it neatly wraps itself up, still managing to look good, whilst the next bud can be seen preparing itself for action.
