The Return of Sweet Pea!

For the past 3 years, I have lived with a puzzle. Which hibiscus died? I had two hibiscus when I moved to Maryland a little over 4 years ago. Then I lost one. In all those years, since leaving Pennsylvania, my hibiscus had not bloomed. So, I never knew which one died, because I did not label the pots. This spring however, the question is finally answered. Candy, the yellow hibiscus died. The puzzle had actually been solved a couple days ago when the bud got big enough that you could see the color of the petals.

This morning, Sweet Pea bloomed. It was a wonderful surprise first thing in the morning (on a morning I slept in).





And there is even another bloom on the way!
