I really hope that it will grow well from here.<br /><br />Gudrun, thanks for your compliments :-)<br /><br />Mia, yes the foliage/leaf is deep red.<br /><br />Dorte, keep warm with your candles and when you are melting wax to make them ;-)<br /><br />Lona, it's an awkward plant isn't it? The furry texture feels so real hehe... :-D<br /><br />Rosey, yeah the name is cute for the plant. But may be not for the real bear's ear... wonder what would happen if I stroke their ears...<br /><br />Bangchik, Andrea, p3chandan, yes the flower looks like one roselle flower. That's why some people call the plant False Roselle. The species is Hibiscus ascetosella. <br /><br />kitchenflavours, my hibiscus plants are growing in pots and are still small shrubs. So, yes the most I see was several flowers at a time. <br /><br />kamyean, I planted the hydrangea from a little plant and yes in a pot. After about a year of growing it, I transferred the plant into a pot that's about three times bigger. That's when the plant flowered. Since the beginning I place the plant in the shade but receives a few hours of sunlight (partial shade). I have seen some homes grow hydrangea in the sun but I am sure they have planted them outside right from the begining. Mine, its leaves will droop if the weather is hot. As for fertiliser, I apply balanced slow release granule. And I don't prune the branches as flowers will grow on old stems. Soil has to be very well draining. Water plant thoroughly daily. It requires lots of water :-)<br /><br />James, I agree with you. And it probably got less and less popular with new plants introduced into the market year after year. I saw this plant at this nursery http://mygreenfinder.blogspot.com/2010/10/jari-warisan-enterprise.html<br />They have many 'old' begonias as well :-)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-72441116711949023282011-02-23T19:04:53.655+08:002011-02-23T19:04:53.655+08:00That hibiscus looks like roselle Steph but their l...That hibiscus looks like roselle Steph but their leaves are red not green, very unusual.
