As we speak, we’re surrounded by heavy fog that every now and then turns into light rain. We wouldn’t be surprised if April ends up being a precipitation record-breaker. At least we have this memory of our last brilliantly sunny morning, which was Wednesday, April 17.
Our Hibiscus was showing off by displaying two of her large, outlandish blooms at once, which is unusual for this little plant. She’s an incorrigible extrovert who has given us one bloom per month for about six months.
“Hibiscus,” by the way, is derived from the Latin description of naming a baby after a flower, any flower. Apparently, one could say: “Rose’s parents gave her an hibiscus name.” (Brooklin, Maine)
