I made a little bouquet of some tropical peach double hibiscus and a few white periwinkles from the yard. Remember I live in semi-tropical central Florida where I have flowers almost year round.

March Flowers 2021
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.
Rain Brings Flowers
Late fall through late spring is the dry season here in central Florida. Some years we still have a decent amount of rain, but most years it is not often enough. My yard has some tropical plants, like tropical hibiscus, that with rain will burst into blooms year round. One such hibiscus is my peach double hibiscus.
