Hibiscus 2007- 2019

I was never really that "into" hibiscuses until one Summer when an especially pretty red made me what to keep it for longer than just the all-too-brief outdoors, warm weather months. From then on, my fascination and collection both grew. Prior to 2007, I did grow some tropical hibiscuses outdoors in Summertime. I only had one or two hibiscus plants at a time. Not named varieties. And each year, it was different plants.

Things changed. In 2007, I first started to embrace hibiscuses as house plants. That start was limited, but it increased over the years.

Nevertheless, with our often-brutal Winters, my luck at keeping the same varieties for many years has been hit or miss. A lot has depended on how cold our unheated Solar Room gets during sporadic, unusual, sporadic, outdoors Wintertime prolonged-cloudy-and-bitter-cold snaps. Plus, it has also depended on how often (and long) that I have traveled away from home. Over the years - whenever I had to rely on someone else tending to hibiscus's sensitive watering requirements - some of very pretty (but sensitive) varieties were lost to the ages due to improper watering. Most people, who travel a lot, will probably understand how that goes.

Happily, I do still have (and still enjoy) some hibiscuses today from 2007 and the early years. The ones, no longer with me, live on in photos.
