Thanks, Sharon. Great illustration.

I will probably end up with my entire front yard covered with those and H. moscheutos. The gal who mows is already fussing at me. I added a "few more things" in the back. "No", she said with mock incredulity ... but the amount she has to edge now has increased so I have to pay more. Once I get back out there mowing and edging some, she won't have so much to do and will be happier with me (maybe).

I just returned from the nearest BB store and with our frost prediction for last night, I saw they had all their tropical Hibs sitting out in the parking lot. Some were sort of half covered but most were not. I'm glad we didn't actually frost, and I certainly wouldn't want to pay their asking price of $23 for a frost-bitten tropical Hibiscus ... even if it did have a braided trunk.
