Hibiscus with Two Colors



These two differently colored flowers are from the same pot. Both are double hibiscus variety. I do not remember whether we had planted two plants in the same pot. But why would we? Normally I plant only one flower or foliage plant in a container. I did not do any grafting either. Only in spring (still many weeks away here) I can look at the roots closely to determine whether there are two different shrubs entangled here. In any case these fresh flowers add beauty to the cold indoors. The pleasant south faced glass window lets in bright sunny rays to gently wake up these dormant indoor tropical flowering plants. One learns to enjoy and appreciate every bit of color in the midst of endless expanse of white snowy washout. Copyright 2022 by the author
