Hibiscus of the Year

18 years ago

My husband and I went to a local hibiscus show yesterday and had a chance to see the 2005 Hibiscus of the Year, Black Dragon, all I can say is this is one beautiful Hibiscus. I bought it and another one called Bon Temps. I wish they were blooming now so I could share. The Black Dragon is burgandy with a black throat and the Bon Temps is hot pink with a bright yellow margin.
