Our weather down under is starting to warm up so I love looking at those snow pictures and beautiful foggy, freezing
scenes.
But just in case y'all up in the northern hemisphere would like to see something that's not icy cold and needs some shovelling, here's just a few quick snaps of our hibiscus hedge at the end of the back yard.

OK so I missed out on pruning it this year (usually about September), so it looks a bit scruffy.

Our hibiscus flowers come out about Christmas time and usually by New Year are in full bloom. We chose this colour, they call "Cardinal" because of that distinctive red/pink

Here's a close up of the flower. A beautiful shade of red. We have another single stamen hibiscus bush at the side of the yard, a beautiful darker red, that hasn't bloomed yet.

The back of the hibiscus flowers above showing more buds to bloom soon. Just over the back fence (first picture) you may see our back neighbour's walnut tree. The walnuts will be ready soon and our neighbour, as thanks to numerous lemons we have given them recently, will as usual provide us with bags full of delicious fresh walnuts.
Ah summer! when "the livin' is easy"
Just thought I'd share
