es geht den menschen wie den tieren

observing the mid-winter growth of my potplants, i was delighted to see that the hibiscus is in bloom again. which never happened before during this time of year simply because our flat is a bit colder than average. so i'm rather delighted that the plant surprised me with an open blossom this morning.

edit: and thus, silliness ensued... ;-)

what's interesting, though, the blossom is only less than half as big compared to those in summer. and it's much, much, much more intense in colour.

i added the thumbs up! not just as sign of approval, but also for comparative measure. it's a bit as if a marguerite has shrunken to the size of a daisy.

That bright color would certainly help chase away any winter gloom. All my plants are looking rather sad. You are growing this plant indoors too?
[In a corny tone] You should have painted your thumb green! ;-)

well, i have to grow it indoors since our winter climate is pure poison for a hibiscus plant. but last summer, i put it out on the window sill, to the pure envy of our resident janitor. he asked me how i managed to keep it alive because his had just wilted previously. my simple advise was, 'water it every two days and just ignore it the rest of the time.'

about the tumb: don't tempt me. :-D
