Just a few shots of what I see when I go out the back door.

WOW they are beautiful Don! Well planted and well taken!!!

A lovely back yard, Don.   

Have they bred a hibiscus that is hardy enough to handle the Dallas winters?

After looking at the maps I would say the ones like I have would survive, Not much difference in temps.

I do not know what variety I have as my neighbor gave me the starts for these. I have never seen these for sale at nursery's here. All I have seen here are tropicals and they WILL NOT winter over. The tropicals have shiney waxy looking leaves like gardenias or camellias.

I might be able to send you a start this winter or maybe a seed if you would like to try and grow yourself one. They do produce an occasional seed although they are rare. I have a few that came up from seed but the color is usually different from the original.

Just let me know.

They are beautiful Don. 

Thanks Judy! 

They are just starting to come up this year, I'll try to remember to get photos of them when they bloom.

They are beautiful, Don.  I would definitely like to try them.  I'll send you a PM.

That will work.

Well I failed to get any photos of my Hibicus this summer but I did get these of my Peony so thought I would post them.
