A riot of colour

 What a fabulous red hibiscus, in honour of D's daughter, Helena.

 The result of another mad spending spree - two more hibiscus, plus zinnias, margharitas and osteospurnum in orange and red for the pine-chip bed.

Grown from seed and thriving in this shady bed next to the Dame de Noche.   I'm hoping that one of them  will be one in red from a neighbour's seeds.

Where has the month gone.... it's taken a month to see what survived the really cold snap and apart from a datura and cape gooseberry, everything has regenerated, even the hibiscus bed, slowly but surely.
