Hi Darla, what a color on that hibiscus! It is my favorite color. It is so springy in your area, candytuft and everything looking great. Hooray for blueberry flowers! Yum! Frances
To think Spring is actually sprouting in some areas -- heavenly! Loved these beautiful photos. The hibiscus is one of my very favorites -- I had one last year and it bloomed and bloomed!
Great photos and beautiful flowers! The color of that hibiscus is fantastic! And in reply to your comment on my blog, yes, I take many, many bad photos as I'm still trying to learn to manually take photos. :-)
the salmon hibiscus flowers are such a beautiful color. All your flowers look wonderful. Florida is kinder to plants and flowers than our Arizona desert, so your flowers always look brighter. Aiyana
Your blooms look awesome. I love the Peach hibiscus especially.
Hey, you know your sign on the sidebar that says--Live long, talk much====the end of that saying is laugh often. Does yours say that? Live long, talk much, and laugh often.
Beautiful hibscus, you are right that it is more peachy than the one I posted. Love tulips too. I don't have much luck with tulips, they never seem to come back. I am into planting and returning year after year.

Great photos. I do so love that hibiscus. The color and the double blooms are outstanding. I wonder if it would be hardy in my area?
Great bloom day post.

Your garden is so lovely with all your pretties blooming right now! I love the peach colored Hibiscus that hubby bought you!
Hi Darla,

Wooo Darla, I can't believe you have never had tulips. They are one of our favorites (along with our lilies, our irises, our roses, etc.)... ha
Beautiful colors of your hibiscus.
Great pictures. All of your flowers are so pretty.
