The most exotic and carefree subject. |
| Saw this species hibiscus first at Montreal Botanic Garden and sat in disbelief under it, so unusual and abundant the blooms were. Happily, was able to locate it at Logees in 2.5 pot. The bush is now 5 ft tall and 10 ft wide, blooms all through the winter with no supplementary light, even though some brunches are several feet away from the window. The blooms look a lot like small exotic birds, intricately feathered; each one is enough to make my day. Thank you Logees! |

Intricate blooms are unreal |
| The first time I saw one of these in bloom, I couldnt believe it existed. Now, I just cant believe everyone doesnt have one. |

Happy Mama! |
| While on a business trip 5 years ago, I fulfilled my lifelong ambition to visit Logees.I purchased this hibiscus for my mother, who was housesitting for us. The plant is now about 5 feet tall and has been in continuous bloom for the last 2 years. It is spectacular! |

Gorgeous Plant! |
| I first came across this plant while on vacation hiking on the Caribbean island of Antigua. I stopped and watched the flower in amazement. It was so beautiful! |
