I may be impatient to have my garden up and running nad looking like it's always been there (got the first year garden blues...) but there are some tasty moments occurring and they seem to favor red. This "Fireball" hibiscus was a birthday present from Bob and it's dynamite. This was right after a really heavy thunderstorm; the drops of rain are still visible. Some disrespectful beetle has gnawed a few of the leaves, but you can't have everything go well. Hell, this is gardening afterall!
Another showstopper was a birthday gift from my sister Beatrice. She got this Mandevilla (spelled wrong? It sounds like some Pontiac from the 1960's) at a Stop and Shop on clearance for (get this) $2. And this plant just keeps blooming and blooming...
