| can you find the flower above? |
The only little petunia hibiscus in the onion patch back yard,
its beauty hidden until I looked really hard.
Drought has made the bush look ugly, but one small flower is hanging low.
It should be a double bloom, this we know,
the bush should be full of dozens this time of year.
but the rain just will not come, oh dear, oh dear.

Before drought the bush bloomed most of the year with these
I must admit that I looked and looked, and could not find it. But once I saw the closeup of it, I went back and found it easily. So pitiful.
ReplyDeleteaat keast one is there... how big this plant is... we always got some small ones in a pot, but they were not long withh us... sig...
ReplyDeleteI was looking near the top so I couldn't find the flower.
ReplyDeleteWow, I was looking all over, the middle and at the top. I eventually found almost on the ground. It is a beautiful bloom, we have one in the house from last summer. It is getting blooms on it now too. Take care, have a happy day and a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHaving read the comments above, I feel quite smug. i found it almost right away. Perhaps that's the result of a lifetime of peering into dense bushes for birds.
ReplyDeleteIt took.me a bit, but found it about the time I was ready to stop.looking.
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteI did, eventually. If I'd been less stubborn and read the full post, it might have been a couple minutes quicker! I adore hibiscus and am sad for your lovely bush that it is suffering hard times... YAM xx
I did see it - I think on the bottom of the left side.
ReplyDeleteI am still in shock that you are in a drought - we are in monsoons! Not really, but we have had a ton of rain this winter.
We are so dry here too. The preserve has dried up and it looks terrible right now. But hopefully those afternoon showers will help when they start again. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe hibiscus is a gorgeous colour so I noticed the orange flower among the leaves. I'm sorry the drought has caused the tree distress.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so sad...your drought is terrible. Wish we could send some of our rain to you.
ReplyDeleteI think we won't have any rain until Tuesday...Going to Lynnes for early shift today. At least its sunny. Makes the whole day brighter.

What a beautiful brave Coral Hibiscus. OMDs I don't think I knew one could put editing apps on the phone. Thank you
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
I found it. It is sooooo sad to see your hibiscus bush so bare
ReplyDelete:-(
I sure hope you get some rain soon!
That lonely little flower gets an "A" for it's effort.
ReplyDeleteI hear 'ya!! Same here.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra :=) I found it, it's small, but the colour drew me to it, and it's beautiful. It's a great shame it has suffered in the drought. Tell me, is there a ban on watering your garden.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you spotted this little lady before she fades away. (Gosh, I sound like a line from Delta Dawn. lol)
ReplyDeleteNever fails to amaze me, how delicate they look -- but how hardy, too.
Com'on rain!
The hibiscus is really beautiful, and I hope that in the next flowering season, there will be many more to enjoy! ❤❤
ReplyDeleteI managed to find it, but I had to look carefully. Poor plant! Droughts suck. 👎
ReplyDeleteNo, I also could not find the lone hibiscus, Sandra, so thanks for showing it. It’s unfortunate that the drought has caused such a lovely plant not to flower. Hopefully, things will get better for the future.
ReplyDeleteOur hibiscus isn't blooming because of all the rain we have had. It's losing leaves. Hopefully you will get some rain soon.
