INHIBISCUS

We have been looking for a white hibiscus to replace our old, old half dead one out front.

It was a sort of centerpiece of the home's entrance.

They don't make white anymore. Not many. Not easily available.

What we wanted was a bush/tree big enough to take over the space from the first day.

The other day, I thought, John should go to the local high end nursery and just find a replacement. Which he did. Two replacements.

Yellow. Hula Girl. Imagine.

There was not Hula Boy.

So, today they were delivered (they were big) and our gardener Paul came with his guys and supervised the planting.

It was/is a professional job. Right depth, proper fill of dirt and water. And so on.

The entire production was John's except for the managing the planting part.

They look pretty good huh? The big one with a single trunk could go to 7-8 feet and the little one which branches out would be a bit lower but wider.
