That's why they are so common in gardens and also as street plants. Water lilies are demanding plants indeed, I was repotting one of them today but the rain interrupted me! Hope to continue soon!MDNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472409345156364028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186063787661908241.post-64213096165334378612017-12-20T07:24:17.134-08:002017-12-20T07:24:17.134-08:00I too like roses much more than Hibiscus!

When I was growing up we lived close to the Pacific where it was more humid and they were enormous there--3 meters or more. <br /><br />You remind me that water lilies are a tough job to maintain. I will continue to enjoy yours.

Mine are Grandiflora and Lime light. Yours red ones are amazing.<br />Have a nice weekend!

If you want lots of colors maybe it's time to give hibiscus a try.MDNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472409345156364028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186063787661908241.post-20950124072571943772017-12-10T16:01:17.648-08:002017-12-10T16:01:17.648-08:00Sigrid, with temperatures touching 40c all I wish ...Sigrid, with temperatures touching 40c all I wish is snow! The roses last nothing in the sun, they get scorched in matter of hours this is a critical time for roses here, I lost several of them every summer.. it's really frustrating I wish I could move to some colder place.

A Hibiscus hedge came with our former house and I have to admit I didn't like it either, although a lot of that reaction was due to the fact that they attracted giant mealybugs, which were difficult to eradicate. In my current drier environment, the bugs are less of an issue so I'm rethinking Hibiscus too.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186063787661908241.post-85085693994022860052017-12-10T11:11:21.354-08:002017-12-10T11:11:21.354-08:00Anyway your garden must look beautiful with all th...Anyway your garden must look beautiful with all the blooming roses and water lilies!<br />When you want to see some cold pictures, MDN, visit my blog!
