Hibiscuses.
This are Ed's favorite plants (and scrubs nowadays, while they are adapted to our climate too now).
In our first house we had one, that had to go out for it had grown into a tree, that had 85 flowers in one year.
Now we have outside 5 different ones, one very special grown with double flowers and they do start flowering in 4 different shades (and hearts).
We do have white with a purple heart, lilac, double white and dark purple, red did not bloom yet, is only a small scrub at the moment, so I am not sure it is red.
And inside on ED'S window seal there are (except one Camelia) only Hibiscuses now, for one pot, I replaced to another place, because I did find a nearly white |Hibiscus, in which the buds are still small enough not to fall of after replacement, and one open to show the color.
Now we do have 2 shades of red, an orange one, a pinkish one, 2 very yellow ones and this white (of white is a better description) and each morning is the first look in the rooms: how do our flowers bloom today?
Hibiscuses usually only keep their blooms 1-2 days, never longer. So now there are 2 yellow blooms (of to nigth for this is the second day) 2 red, with hopes they still are there tomorrow, and the new of white one.
But there are a lot of buds in, so we keep watching.
And the Orchids? five are blooming and some others have promising signs of coming flowers, jus wait and see.
So outside there still is a lot of heat, although the heat wave is already over (26 feels cool after 35 Celcius!) and no sun and rain promised, inside we have nature in full summer glory!
