great excitement over the last while when I discovered two different new buds…
the first one I noted was the tiny little buds on the mandevilla…
it had been looking very scraggly when it came out from the house…
and then, just a few days ago, I spotted a bud on the hibiscus;-)…
can’t wait to see the blooms as they open…

spent some time trimming the hibiscus now that most of the buds have opened…
here it was before the haircut, kind of scraggly…
and after, being careful not to cut off any of the remaining buds;-)…
I think it looks much tidier and it is much easier to walk past it, lol… and then it had another bloom;-)…
here it is five years ago… so tiny…
and since then it has lost one whole stem…
