Wow! That hibiscus is gorgeous! The elephant ears look really great too. I really like the black ones, but I think that it takes lots of direct sun to make them get dark. My elephant ears look pitiful. They got nipped by a late frost and then they’ve been burned up by the drought. They’re not even knee high and not much bigger than my outspread hand. Now my red caladiums are doing great. They’re in clay pots and get watered every day so they’ve kinda got an advantage. I’ll have to take a picture to show you my little seating area/garden out beside the house. It’s looking pretty good now. The yellow marigolds I planted in the raised rock bed aren’t all that big, but they’re doing ok. They must be a dwarf variety or something.
That’s pretty much how my garden was last year. Burned up.
IF we ever get any sunshine, those elephant ears will get some afternoon direct sun. I hope they darken, I thought the picture of them pretty cool.
