Garden Blog: Hibiscus Hijinx

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

Hibiscus

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.

    Your flowering trees are in fact Crepe Myrtles… (also spelled crape myrtle)

    Remember Crepe Myrtle Circle off of Polo Rd. in Winston?

    Or the Crape Myrtle Festival here in Raleigh which is the world’s oldest continuously operating AIDS charity. (Named after the trees that bloom and fight and grow even in the middle of the oppressive summer heat.) Yes, that’s right… Celebrating the culmination of it’s 26th year in just 3 weeks with the Crape Myrtle Gala on July 29th, starring RuPaul. (You should be here!)

    :-) Happy gardening!

    Love,
