Flame

November Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “3”

Floral flames warm cool autumn garden.

I began gardening a little over ten years ago with my first hibiscus — ruby-red — planted in memory of my grandmother.

I lost my hibiscus plants (all eight of them) to the Texas snowstorm last year. I re-planted five. This one is still quite small but it puts out large, showy flowers.

At least three of my hibiscus plants are still blooming. They add joyful splashes of color to my browning fall garden. And, of course, I re-planted the ruby-red variety. My garden isn’t complete without it.

Thanks for reading!
