Pink Profusion

January 13, 2015 by Frances Macaulay Forde

I grew this Hibiscus bush from a cutting when my garden was being cleared for re-modelling. Look at her now – isn’t she beautiful?

These magnificent blooms usually last for weeks but unfortunately, due to a recent 44 degree day have been deep fried, until I don’t recognize them, at all!

So sad is the sight, I couldn’t bear to photograph their demise but hope they’ll come back… be resilient in pink profusion once more.

I’ve even painted them a couple of times and used the results to illustrate my postcards.
