Just in time for GBBD this month, one of Middle Monkey's hardy hibiscus plants bloomed. This is Malvaceae Hibiscus moscheutos. I think this one is Moy Grande. My hands are pretty little, but even so, that is one big flower. We have four other varieties. Next month maybe the Meme will bloom.
Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Garden for hosting GBBD each month.
That is a beautiful bloom!
ReplyDeleteThanks, happymouffetard, funny name.

I love hibiscus! We haven't put ours in yet as it's been so cool here. --Curmudgeon
ReplyDeleteThat is one humongous (sp?) bloom!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Gorgeous! That flower reminds me of a picture I took of my mom and son at Munsinger Gardens a few years ago. I don't have any flowers that huge in my garden.
ReplyDeleteHi all, thanks for the complements. We loves us some hibiscus.
ReplyDeleteHi Aunt Debbi, nice hibiscus and totally rockin' toad from Friday! Wow. Over here we have the Cane Toad - disastrous environmental pest. We Aussies HATE them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment! And thanks for the linky love - some of your friends have been brave enough to check out my terrible bug story.
We really think the saga is over this time.

GdeE, you post on bedbugs was perfectly timed with some minor critter disasters here and in Pensylvania(did I spell that wrong ofb?). I saw something on the Cane toad, looked like a real mess.
ReplyDeleteWow those are huge! Our hibiscus plants are our favorites. Even though the blooms only last a day around here we still love them.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness gracious! How cool is that?
ReplyDeleteHi Shala, We love these. They come back every year.
ReplyDeleteThanks sherry, middle monkey thinks they are the coolest.
THAT is a big bloom. It might be the biggest of bloom day. Thanks for joining in again.

Thanks Carol. We will play again next month.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you've just got to have big blooms. That's a pretty one. My mom had to get a couple of those large blooming Hibiscus because she has poor eyesight & she wanted to be able to see the flowers from the window. They sure make a person take notice.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger the better, by golly! :) Happy LARGE Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteHi, Mr Mcgregor's Daughter and Lisa, Yes yes, around here bigger is better
ReplyDeleteI love the color and the size of the bloom. Oh it's blowing here. Maybe it will rain. Sorry, it get excited about ran these days.
ReplyDeleteSam
Be excited sam, be excited. We had two storms blow through this afternoon. It is cool and wet, what a difference a day can make.
ReplyDeleteWow!! Now that has to be one of the biggest blooms I have ever seen :-D
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine what will follow it next month ;-D
thanks shirl.
ReplyDeleteHi Aunt Debbi! Yes, it looks like our grass is bigger than your flower. But your flower is way prettier! You know, TX would be a great place to grow this grass stuff--you all have lots of space and your state motto is "Bigger is better" after all. I really wonder what people are thinking planting these monstrosities in the middle of urban Seattle. --Curmudgeon
ReplyDeleteGive me a minute. Let me show you what our neighbors did.
