Most hibiscus are single hibiscus with 5 leaves. Thanks to modern cultivation techniques, some varieties can produce flowers with more than five petals – called “double hibiscus” – in a dazzling array of colors, sizes, and shapes. They grow in semi-tropical and tropical growing zones here in the U. S. (zones 9 to 11)
A couple of weeks ago I shared peach double hibiscus blooming in the back yard after a rain here in central Florida. When the northern states got snow last week, we got a cooler front with rain.
That of course was followed by blue skies and flowers. It is after all Florida.
That means my peach tropical hibiscus has gone crazy with beautiful blooms.
I love blue skies and flowers.
New periwinkles are blooming. (vinca)
The red tropical double hibiscus in the front yard has huge flowers.
Wishing you blue skies and spring flowers.

So beautiful!
These are so pretty, Carol. I especially love the hibiscus here. And the skies were so dramatic!
thanks Jeanie – happy Thursday!
Oh my goodness. Your flowers are so beautiful. Do they bloom for a long time Carol? Have a wonderful day.

Most hibiscus only bloom for about a day. They really aren’t great cutting flowers although I do that too. I just love the bright colors
The hibiscus is beautiful! I love it when they start blooming. Happy day to you Carol 🙂
Happy Thursday Denise!
Your photos of blue skies contrasting with the peach hibiscus are beautiful! I must bring my hibiscus inside every winter. I can probably put them outside again in about a month or so.
Hibiscus are a tropical plant so you are doing a good job of protecting them. When it’s safe, I bet you get beautiful blooms. Be sure to share some photos when they bloom. I’d love to see them.
Beautiful flowers. I don’t think I’ve seen a peach hibiscus before!
I love blue skies and flowers also!! Yours are wonderful!!!!
Many beautiful flowers in your March. Your comment on my post warmed me immensely. Take care.
You too Yvonne

Beautiful hibiscus!
Hibiscus are such wonderful flowers in garden. New for me to read about the Doubles. Thank you for sharing this interesting Post.
Happy MosaicMonday
Hi Carol, I have an orange hibiscus too but it is single-petaled. Yours is beautiful, love it!
Single and double each have their own beauty, but the ruffled petals on a double are soft and lovely. Thanks so much for the visit Stephanie.
Carol – these flowers are glorious, filling almost all of our senses. I especially like the photo in front of the fence … superb contrast! Thanks for sharing this Florida beauty with the rest of us at Mosaic Monday!
Angie you say the sweetest things – Happy Easter!
