yesterday the hibiscus finally bloomed for the first time in many months…

it lives in the house over the winter and hadn’t flowered since Christmas…

it was really unhappy when I moved it outside for the summer… the first few days after the move were very hot and it got sunburned… since then many of the leaves have turned yellow and fallen off…

last week I spotted the beginning of the first buds… and a few days ago the first one started to open…

yesterday it was fully open and even after the rain it looked gorgeous…

and there were three blooms ready to open…

and this is what I saw this morning…

nature really is amazing… and beautiful…
