That is a beauty! I hope your neighbors house is intact. Maybe the county could install some sort of barrier?

That is just an amazing hibiscus! You have to keep that one growing.

That is a beautiful hibiscus!

I hope that your neighbors are ok.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this beauty. Well just came back to do a few more things before working at the holiday store.
House is ok. But I believe ONLY because were the car went in and got stopped...BY THE OLD OLD OAK tree!!! I could see the damage on the tree so probable the driver was not quit ok.

Karyn will you belief it or not...but the city does not even let him put his mailbox into a concrete block...it is to dangerous...for the DRIVERS and all the kids knocking and breaking our mailboxes all the time ........grrrrrrrrrrrrr

He WAS however allowed to pile up some bigger rocks...but that is about it....Unfortunately they somehow drove in a place that is NOT a curve jumping target.

I hate the cities ordinance rules grrrrrrrrrrr again.

Ok time to read a few more posts.

Good morning all. Lucy, that is a spectacular hibiscus! Reminds me of an orange sorbet, yummy!

What is it with kids knocking down the mailboxes. That happened to me the day before my home flooded. Recently, my next door neighbor had his stolen (a very nice one), and up the street, their mailbox was knocked down. Wish there were cameras to catch them.

We're on our 3rd mailbox and I refuse to replace it again. As long as the mailman can still get my mail in there it's staying. The kids drive by and hit them with baseball bats, I think.

Lucy I'm surprised that the county doesn't erect some type of barrier. When I was growing up I had a friend whose house sat at the apex of a sharp curve. They had cars drive thru their living room on more then one occasion so the county put up a barrier. It wasn't the most attractive thing I'd seen but it served it's purpose.

That is a very pretty hibiscus Lucy. Is is one of the Cajun series?

Somebody had to die first, before they installed a traffic light here at a certain intersection.

I love the color of this hibiscus. Gorgeous.

Ingrid

Very nice color Lucy. Love it.

Pat

Jill I do not remember if it falls under the Cajun hibiscus' ....sorry. I bought so many starters this year.

Ingrid I think that will have to happen here also.
Karyn I wish they would do more and allow more to protect ourselves...but well....I think only in my dreams.

Oh and I believe that is exactly who breaks the mailboxes....the kids and their practical jokes.

Lucy

OK, here is the 'Cajun Series' of hibiscus. Lucy's is called "Heat Flash". More plants to drool over. Thanks a whole lot to Lucy. Just amazing varieties of flower form and color.

Cajun Series

lol Dave. Now really. What are we to do when they even bloom in the house? Withhold the beauty from my friends?

NEVER lol

I mean...yeah at least I do not post links to BUY stuff like Shawn etc etc

Lucy

Here's a place to buy the hibiscus (see link). Dave I take it that grower supplies plug trays only? I've never heard of them but sent the link to DH.

Yesterday, I noticed my mailbox was loose, and wondered if overnight they tried knocking the box again! My neighbor hasn't replaced his mailbox, and the people down the street, encased theirs in brick. Think I will add electricity to mine, LOL! Just kidding!

I found myself looking at all those hibiscus. You all need to stop posting websites, LOL!

Eloise roflmao now THAT would be something else besides Concrete ha ha ha ha

Lucy

Wow Lucy, that color's like a solar flare! Gorgeous!
