Success finally a Hibiscus flower

Hibiscus are picky plants, all the right conditions have to be perfect to get this beautiful flowers.  If they are not happy they'll drop all the buds, I have waited for this one for over a year.

The King Mantle Flower or Thunbergia erecta

As summer days get closer the heat of the day is doing a number on my potted plants. I find that some pots need to be water twice a day. A few days ago I told you all, that now that we have daylight savings time I was going to gardening after work on Tuesday and Thursday and going to the gym the other days. Well this week I spent everyday in the garden after work, there is much weeding to be done and so many plants that need to be cut back. I don’t know about you but I find the Gym is so boring, I am trying to convince my doctor that gardening gives you all the exercise a person need.
The pictures today are of my King Mantle shrub this week it burst into hundreds of blooms. I took the pictures early one morning as the sun was coming up, the flowers looked magnificent.
