    Nope never seen one quite as big as that. You know I only like pink when it's a flower otherwise it's definately not my favourote colour.

    Ooooh, that's extra yummy! 8) You know I'm a hibisc-a-holic.
    I'll have to get the Dr.'s address from you, Gizmo,
    so that next time I visit Florida I can do a bit of late-night, free-lance pruning. [​IMG]

    Thats a lovely pink. I used to have a white with a red throat that was dinner plate size. It would winter over here in PA, but froze back to the ground and had to start full growth each spring.
