While in Florida these Rubies were captured.

I love these Moss roses.
They are very drought resistant
The different colors are pleasing to the eye.

  3. I learned by preparing my Monday post of our okra blossoms that okra is related to hibiscus. Looking at your beautiful red hibiscus blossoms, I see why!

    Thanks for stopping by GDP. We get lots of lookers but not many commenters. Every comment makes the effort worthwhile!

  4. Your flowers are true treasures (gems) especially the hibiscus because it is not just lovely to look at but healthy to eat/drink!

    Thanks so much for your visit and comment. Sorry, I was unable to post it because of the link.

    Take care & God bless.

  6. Love these Moss Roses! Never heard of them before??! Wonder if they would work as a small area ground cover here in VA?? Very hot and humid here in the summer! Great pic of hibiscus too - I love them and always have one in a big pot on my front porch all spring and summer!

  12. These two flowers are also common flowers in the Philippines because it stays pretty even if it's hot all the time.

  14. The moss rose is known as Japanese Rose here, so easy to grow them especially in our hot climate. Hibiscus too need plenty of sunshine, they are the national flower of Malaysia, a neighboring country.

  15. I'm here in SoFL and I love hibiscus. There is a fuchsia color that I am particularly fond of. It also makes a wonderful tea.
