    Thank you. It is. It's a rare hibiscus as well -- the petals are ribbed (I hate that word ;))
    These are from last year. Mine usually blooms in late July, early August.

    oh my,
    I remember the very first time I saw a lilly pad in the real world. I had a childhood book that had pictures,
    not real pictures but pretty bright drawings,
    and I didn't know they were a real flower til I was a teen floating in a lake at my boyfriends cottage. It was a surreal event to realize they were real, right there floating next to me:D
    just beautiful

    Some pics I took at Munsinger Clemens Gardens in Minnesota...

    Love the plants that look like fireworks in this photo:

    One of the lower, shade gardens along the river. Notice the little cabin?
