Author Garden: baby hibiscus's first bloom Safari Barbie Great Gardener Member # 4801 posted                       I started growing tropical hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis) from seed about 2 years ago. Two lived through my early attempts and the first bloomed last Fall. The second bloomed today for the first time!!! Love it!!! The Mother plant was a single red. It was pollinated by insects and there were pink and red hibiscus plants around it, so I didn't know who the daddy was. Now I know it was another red. Bloom looks just like the parents! I was very surprised to see the bloom. From what I understand, normally these plants don't bloom until they're 1.5 - 2 years old. This one is about 1 year and 3 months old. It must like me!!!!!

But maybe that's just because it's my computer. OK, The pic is in my Webshots Garden folder and is the one called "baby hibiscus #2." http://community.webshots.com/user/safari_barbie Sorry 'bout that!
