Hey! You did it. I love the allysum.

Kristy,

Where are you located that you already have pretty tropical hibiscus in bloom? Very nice pictures. Good on you for figuring it out :). By the way, I posted your crepe myrtle pics on the Discussions forum on the transplanting CMs thread :).

WOW. !!! I, too, am wondering where Copperas Cove is in Texas. I'm near zone 9 (houston area) but my little hibiscus is only just barely, and I mean as of today, showing any green on the woody stem. I think it will be at least a couple months before I see any blooms. I had to cut the poor thing nearly back to the ground after most of its leaves got burned in the freezes (although I did cover it). It was a little thing that I put in the ground in November, so I was worried it might not have made it. Anyway, seeing your bloom already made me a little jealous, and a very excited to see something in the near future from my hibiscus!! Time will tell I guess...

Your plants are beautiful. I think that allysum is so interesting!

Very pretty.

Thanks for posting the pics.

Copperas Cove is between Austin and Waco and a little to the west near Fort Hood. The allysum is in the top of the pot with the hybiscus and the flowers are so tiny you can barely see them. I really zoomed in on those. I love my new camera! Thanks for the help posting the pics. It was driving me nuts, lol.

My hibiscus is barely sending up stems! I do have some nice spots(tiny) of Blue Bonnet. What a pretty flower that is!!PJ

Wow, did you just buy that hibiscus or was it in a pot and in the garage or something? LOL
Mine are just sending up new growth
Sure is pretty

Its in a pot with miracle grow time release fertilizer. My plants love that stuff.

The new hibiscus I bought two weeks ago in Houston area is blooming like crazy too....might just be because we are in Houston................

Wow that is beautiful!!! I lost one maybe 2 of my Hibiscus..sighhh...
I will have to take a picture of the bluebonnets going down the road to my house they are absolutely amazing..of course I'll have to put my grandson in the middle of them ..lol
