Still blooming on Christmas Day, hibiscuses just need plenty of sun.
The hibiscus flower is a sort of Okinawan emblem, but will do well here in Nagoya – they just need a sunny spot, and a couple I had in pots in front of Raffles just kept blooming right through the summer. The recent cold weather was starting to get to them though, so after getting this shot of a Christmas Hibiscus I moved them indoors for the rest of the winter. They’re looking happier now.
Anyway, a belated Happy New Year to everyone, and all the best in 2009!
