Alex - As usual, your photos give us some much needed blooms! I am looking forward to some cooler weather, but can't wait for Spring to see Daylily blooms again.

Your hibiscus blooms are very pretty! I have a love-hate relationship with them here in Florida. Between the pests and the diseases, they are a pain to grow here in Florida. I stopped even trying to grow them 20+ years ago. You'd think being a tropical plant that they would do well in Florida. Sometimes they do, but many times they don't. I don't know if it is the root knot nematodes or what, but they never grow well for me unless they are in a container. I am trying to eliminate as many containers as I can. (Too much of a challenge to water in summer.) So they aren't even on my radar these days. Glad to see they do very well for you.
