Happy to have found a new Hibiscus plant for my deck. Already seeing huge red blooms. Hummingbirds are enjoying. When butterflies arrive in a few weeks, they will visit the nectar as well.
A few of the nurseries were late in getting plant inventory here, due to the harsh winter we had. This is one of my favorites to have on the deck. It will bloom all summer and into the fall. Then I will bring it indoors for the winter.
I can see red, white and blue colors here, to represent the lives lost while serving in the United States Armed Forces, on this Memorial Day. We should never forget the lives gone and the families that still suffer.

I wish I could grow flowers like that on my property. I do not have a green thumb.

Amen Carol that we should never forget those who gave their lives for us to be free.
Your red, white and blue looks pretty on your deck.

A former talk show host in New Orleans did always mention on his talking points before he gave his thoughts of the news events of the day that Memorial Day should be a day where everyone of us should go to a grave of a fallen soldier and place a flower and thank them for their service to our nation,

@leighnyork You are so welcome. Nature is very relaxing for me. I enjoy it more than people on many days. Less drama.
