Pam, It is a lovely color. Thanks for posting. All of my plants are sagging because of all the rain we are having lately.

Very pretty! Middle of June and my spring flowers are just popping out! Is that like a bush type of plant?

Thanks all. They are a tropical plant which is why they do so well here. Mine are hanging baskets and are only an annual because they are from a tropical environment. Their blooms are beautiful but the vines are thorny. They are sun loving which means i am going to have to move this one out of the shade. Unfortunately, when they start losing their blooms, they will all fall off together and then you have to wait til they bloom again. I love them. Pam

If you lived here in S. Texas (frost? What's that), they would bloom most of the time. Our roses bloom like crazy during the winter. My Bougainvillea are just trying to establish themselves.

MD, so yours are basically perennials? I am thinking of trying to winter them in the house. Pam

Yes they are and they get huge. I have seen some in such beautiful colors I was wondering if you could take a clipping and get a start. I have seen where they mixed a white, peachy, and orange together and they are awesome. I like the bright "electric" color as well.

Love the picture Pam. Bougainvilleas are so beautiful,,,, like roses- beautiful but thorny....
The hibiscus in my garden (which I’m looking at from indoors till my ‘no-see-ums’ heal and I have some DEET to go out and do battle) are really doing well; if I can winterize these to get them to come back next year, I will purchase more next year.

Bermuda, I have winterized hibiscus indoors over the winter for many years. I did lose two I had at my old house because they were just too large to move to our new house. I kept putting off moving them down here, until finally it snowed and then it was too cold and too late. I've just bought a new one which is much smaller to begin the process again. I don't plant mine, they are just in pots on the deck. During the Winter I keep them in a south facing set of windows that gets plenty of sunshine, then put them back outside after the danger of frost has passed in the Spring. Attached is a photo of the new one I just bought (it looks pretty small right now). It will be transplanted to increasingly larger pots as it grows. 😁

Absolutely beautiful hibiscus Susiebelle!
I did plant my in our gardens, yellow ones and an orange.
I understand they are annuals but I’m hoping with our backyard wall and being in South Carolina I’m going to attempt to cut them back in Autumn, then mulch them very heavily and the surrounding soil, then peg burlap down over the mulched area to see if I can bring them back. I succeeded doing this over a winter and had them come back, so I’ll try it again. One nursery person I spoke to says our backyard wall probably is the cause for my success because it prevents the cold wind with the low temperatures to kill the roots. I think it’s the heavy mulching and burlap but we shall see.......
