I'm Blushing

Most of the Hibiscus around here are this color. It is very popular, and is called Blush. These were all on this one bush in a neighbor's yard.





Someone had put out fake hibiscus!

That quote made me think that every time I see the Middle East on the news that dry arid country it's nothing but mile after mile or Four Mile of sand and no trees and no flowers I think how in the world it must be to live where there is no green stuff. Toomey green leaves and flowers and of course a hibiscus are a necessary part of my life
