The dried-up prunes turned into something lovely overnight. Take a look:

Isn’t that beautiful? I can’t wait until the whole plant starts to bloom out. That’s gonna be nuts, yo.  

Oooooh, we gots us some hibiscus action goin’ on, y’all! I’m stoked as hell. This happened a couple days ago:

That was in back near the shed; I was effing stoked. Just next to this is the Pride-remix of the pink lily, which I think turned out even more beautiful this year.

Above this are some very colorful blooming trees. God, the garden is so beautiful, I wish we were getting married now.

Then, this afternoon I looked at the big, big hibiscus on the east side of the garden, and it’s beginning to really go nuts. Tomorrow it is going to be absolutely gorgeous. Right now, the fledgling buds look kinda like dried prunes growing out of the bush:

Cool, eh? Definitely there will be more pics tomorrow of full-stop flowers. Everything is really, really beautiful in our backyard. And, more or less, in our lives.
