You can find the best stuff at grocery stores out here. This hibiscus plant was fairly begging me to put it in the cart. How could I resist? When I lived in California before, I got some of my best plants at the drugstore.
The pot was labeled thus:
I kind of like the creative spelling. Wasn’t sure the name of the hibiscus was actually “Spin the Bottle,” so I looked it up. Yep, that’s it.
I think it looks more like pink grapefruit.
When I lived in California before, hibiscus plants were being decimated by whiteflies. Fingers crossed, that won’t happen again.
Hope your week’s going well so far. Welcome, new subscribers!

Pearls & Prose 
What beautiful pictures…very sexy indeed.
I’m pretty sure that’s a first. No one’s ever called my flower shots “sexy.” 🙂
The detail and colors are a joy, a prime reason for my coming here so often.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support.
I’ve never seen a hibiscus in this color before. Amazing.
I hadn’t either, Caroline. It is eye-catching, for sure.
What a beautiful flower and wonderful photograph! Thanks Carole……for sharing with all of us…..Shelley
Thanks for the nice comment, Shelley!
These photos make me want to get on a plane bound for Hawaii immediately. I remember the biggest, most beautiful hibiscus flowers I’d ever seen on Maui.
They are incredible in Hawaii. There was a trend here years ago where people put decals of hibiscus on their back windows to show they’d been to Hawaii.
It’s beautiful………….
Thank you. I’m so glad I bought it.
One of my favorite flowers that reminds me of home. And Spin the bottle–really?
Yeah! I don’t get it either. Maybe they meant spin the kaleidoscope?
I have a completely different version of the definition of spin the bottle–college may have had something to do with it.
Ha ha, I played that game in middle school! No alcohol, though.
Are those flowers edible? I think I had a flower in my martini once.
🙂 I have no idea. Nasturtiums look like really small hibiscus and they are good in salads.
Beautiful colors. I am used to red or white ones.
We see mostly yellow or pink around here. Thanks for stopping by!
