Re: RE: Fringed hibiscus

Hi Andrea

I'm back from getting my daughter out of the hospital once again.  She has
spent one month out of three in the hospital this summer.

Now on to the Hibiscus that you call Fringed.  The botanical name is (I'm
going to misspell this) schzopetalus or Chinese lantern.  I had 30 of these
plants but their frenquency of blooming and the delicateness of the flowers
made transporting them and showing difficult.  They also need huge
quantities of water and plenty of shade here.  Demur is how I would put
their flowers.

DF
