I refuse to succumb to temptation! I purchase them from Home Depot or Lowes. I love the double ruffled ones. Have the peach and the red in a hedge. Had a smoky lavendar once, but it bit it in a frost....

Janice, the H. schizopetalus really has an unusual flower for a hibiscus. Come one now, just take a little peak at Logee's hibiscus. Just a peek. That's all. Here's one....

Glad you're feeling better, Verleen, I don't mind the ads except those that send junk mail to my inbox. Pretty hibiscus. I had a Noid hibiscus once that bloomed red double flowers all winter long one...

Glad you are feeling better! "Methinks I need to visit Logees after I return from my trip. Their greenhouses are a sure 'pick-me-up' during winter." I'm a big Logee's fan and waaay overdue for a trip....

Well Golly, since everyone is sharing photos of Hibiscus, I must show off a hardy variety that a grew a few years ago. I loved the gorgeous and continuous blossoms, but these plants take up a lot of...

At this moment if I order another thing, I'm looking at potential divorce. Best not even utter the words!

Verleen, Did you buy your lady bugs from a local store? I know you can get them for around $25.00 by mail. Some kinds of bugs you have to get very fast delivery or the bugs start to cannibalize. What...

Nancy, it was late fall and the lady bugs had swarmed in clusters on my front porch. So I just scooped them up into a big jar. I released them in my bedroom. They did eradicate the thrips on the...
