It was wonderful to have some good rains finally. The garden was happy as was I. I had to laugh when I read that you thought the same thing - no watering!! I felt as if I was on summer holidays. <BR/><BR/>Your Hibiscus are gorgeous and I am envious - I couldn't grow them here... so I shall enjoy from afar. I like the way the white one turned pink. The petals have such a cool texture.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-87130684610752168912007-08-14T02:01:00.000-05:002007-08-14T02:01:00.000-05:00I miss summer storms.
