Tequila sunrise

Here's someone who is not tech savvy

Our new 'fiesta' hibiscus

ORMOND BEACH, FL - -  Did the title make you thirsty??  Take your glass; toss in some crushed ice or cubes; add plenty of tequila; some orange juice and a drizzle of grenadine syrup for coloring.  Drink.
     And now the real story:   Over the past few weeks we've spent plenty of yard work time dealing with invasive bamboo; vines ( with and without thorns) and lots of other little things which seem to sprout back up as soon as you cut them off.  This led to Lydia's suggestion of: "Let's go to the nursery to look at plants."
     We checked a local plant place for hibiscus and found their selection of the size we needed wanting.  But not the variety.  I mean how can you not be drawn to a spectacular 'tequila sunrise' coloring.  Thus the Thursday trip to St Augustine where we had shopped before.
     As you can see, we didn't come home with exactly the variety we wanted.  This  just means we'll be heading back up the road in about 10 days when the plant we ordered comes in.
     In the meantime, I stand with shovel in hand ready to dig while my favorite landscaper points out the new home for the 'fiesta' hibiscus.
