OH MY, as if the cabinet wasn't beautiful enough on it's own, it also hides the FQ. What a wonderful gift.

Yes they are. Hibiscus are sentimental for my mom and I. When my grandma was dying she had some beautiful hibiscus flowers blooming outside her porch. One day mom and I visited her with my then very young DDs and they were both dressed in dresses the exact same color as the hibiscus blooms. My grandma thought my girls were beautiful and so this is a great memory for me. She died a few weeks later.

We now have plants just like the ones she had and it is one of our favorite flowers.
