Default Little Moments of Beauty.....

.....We all get them every day- just wanted to share mine from today. I bought 2 little Cajun hybrid hibiscus this past spring when they were just 6", nursed and nurtured them all summer, and they've grown quite a bit. Both of them are blooming right now- here is the larger of the two- Cajun Hibiscus var. "Untamed Heart":



It makes huge double blooms, the glossiest red I can imagine....



It's got 2 big full blooms and 4 getting ready to open in the next day or so:



Here's my other one- this is Cajun Hibiscus var. "Persimmon". It's within a day or 2 of being in full bloom:



That one will be orange with yellow veins- will post when the bloom opens fully.

Thanks for letting me share something that I finally got to slow down long enough to enjoy....
