My hibiscus has redeemed itself

I wrote a while back that a bud had fallen off one of my hibiscuses. Since then, it has had a flower which you can see in the photo. The fallen bud is still on the ground in the background. Isn’t it pretty? The other shrub has three buds which will be out in a day or two.
I didn’t expect the shrub to have another. We’ve had more hot weather but this time the bud has survived.

Very nice! 
Have you been giving it more water or did you give it shade? (Doing both those things can help them flower in extreme heat.)

I put in quite a lot of potting soil as the original dirt had a lot of building rubble in it.

The colour of the hibiscus is beautiful. I have the red five petals and the dark pink with many petals. They have stopped flowering because of the chill.

They are a very pretty flower. This one is a double but the other is a single variety.

That's pretty. I have an indoor plant that has been dying. Too close to the cold window I tink..but am hoping it may revive in the spring.

I didn't expect any more flowers so I'm pleased to see the plants producing more flowers and buds.

It's so nice to see your blooming hibiscuses. Certainly a pleasant distraction from all our snow covering the ground.. Hope you get more blooms
