First blooms, this year - pictures

The white hibiscus is beginning to open it's blooms.

It was difficult to hold that ruler in the right place and take a picture, in the bright sun that prevented me from seeing anything, anyway. This bloom is 8" across.

One patch of Glads are begining to bloom too.....at least a month early thanks to the early heat we have been stuck with.

I love the glad. I don't have any of those. I don't know why except you can't have everything. Dooley

Wow your hibiscus bloom is huge!! It's really pretty. I also love the glad. It's a color I don't have either.

Wait until I get pictures of the deep wine colored Glads that are beginning to open up now. They will be spectacular.
