Bermuda Mystery Rose
‘Stop to smell the roses ‘ is a cliche phrase that is meant to remind us to slow down and enjoy the world around us.
This is advice I agree with, but have to have forgotten to put it into practice over the past few months. For weeks now I’ve been immersed and obsessed with using this time while everyone is preparing for the Holidays and cooler weather to get this site well stocked and fully open for business by the Spring. For someone of my level of computer technical ability, it’s quite an undertaking. The learning curve continues to be daunting. I’ve barely taken notice of anything beyond the 16″ x 9″ square of this lap top monitor, including my own garden.

About Hibiscus Rosa Senisis – Hibiscus ‘Marguerite
Hibiscus Marguerite is an old heirloom cultivar that is seldom produced commercial now. It is a lovely, unusual, exotic shade of mauve lavender with a deeper burgundy colored throat. It is suitable for growing in tropical and sub tropical landscapes or as a potted plant for the porch, poolside, or patio.
Marguerite Hibiscus have the large, unique color in the flower of many exotics, but is a moderately strong and vigorous plant. It grows slightly slower than many landscape cultivars, but can be used in many applications where the slower growth is a desirable trait, and it will bloom in light shade.
