Beautiful! My sister has a dinnerplate hibiscus that dies clear back in the fall and comes back up in the summer (about June).

Who would have known you could keep them up north. Hibiscus are hardy in the south and beautiful, but how special for you. Thanks for sharing and enjoy!

Beautiful and a wonderful photo. I am used to this kind of hibiscus in Florida and did not know it grew like this in Canada. We have a different type in North Carolina. Also very pretty.

The Hawaii State Flower is the Yellow Hibiscus. If you want to enjoy your blossom indoors, then you can pick an unopened bud (but are sure that the blossom will open that day), lay it on a countertop without water and it will open. Sad but the blossom last only for a day. There are numerous varieties and colors of hibiscus.
