I am amazed at how many of the Hibiscus are still flowering.
Orange Flame has plenty still on it:
And the Double Red Poinsettia has too, I this one.

I'm surprised they are still flowering here too, only noticed this morning there was another big bright yellow and pink one open. Must be the warmer than average winter we have been having ... except for those couple of extra cold days and nights. It's good that they are flowering now as they are perfect for brightening up these dull cloudy days.

You know Gail the only ones of mind that have slowed now a little are the Single Pink and White the other just keep on going which is good as flowers on the dull days are good for cheering us up

Mine still have a few buds on them too. Come the beginning of August I will be giving them a prune.

I always seem to be pruning the Hibiscus Marlene with all the rain we have had they have grown so much this past year.
Betty that's a nice shrub but very small, the fancy doubles and the grafted ones don't seem to grow as fast as the singles
