Look What I Found In My Back Yard

Isn't she a beauty?
I've never had a hibiscus before and didn't realize what it was until it started blooming.

A cat and a flower, cat will win.

Cute pic of Faux Paw (love the name) with the flower. Looks like the dense leaves will form a nice, cool shady spot.

Not sure I've had it in tea...

DEZMOND said...

it's one of the most popular teas here in Europe, has metalic taste and is filled with vitamin C, and has dark raspberry colour. They usually mix it with rosehip tea and aromas to make fruit teas

Love the colour of the hibiscus. Now Faux Paw obviously needed to be photographed

hello new friend! love the flowers AND cat pix!

Sandra Cox said...

I've heard of it. Just haven't tried it. If it weren't for the metalic taste it sounds pretty good.

The flower is lovely, I've always been fascinated by flowers. I read that the hibiscus holds many healing properties. Pretty cat...

Thanks, True. I love hibiscus and was thrilled to discover I had some. Maybe Dez would know about the healing properties. He mentioned a hib tea.
