Plant of the Day for September 15, 2015.
| Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Apr 10, 2012 4:23 AM HVH: "Hibiscus schizopetalus is one of the original hibiscus species that were used in Hawaii and elsewhere to create the ancestors of today's modern hybrids. The name means "split petals," due to the unusual, lacy blooms that this hibiscus makes. [ Reply to this comment | |
