Mallow Madness

Well we had some guesses last week on the photos I posted for Pink Saturday from my mother’s garden.  Our savvy Sue, the Florida gardener extraordinaire said “Disco Belle hibiscus … am I right?” According to my mother, in a word, no.

Mom said, "mallows are flat and hibiscus are cupped" and Sue said, “Disco Belle hibiscus look like mallows, so they must be a cross of some kind. I have always been fascinated by them.”

Now I’m not one to argue with mom or a master gardener.  I’ll let you judge for yourselves.  Here are a couple photos from last week, plus a photo of the gorgeous thing next to a plate she sent since the initial post. 

Then, for this week’s something pink I’ll put in yet more of mom’s beauties for you all to enjoy.
