This is Chris' dad's hibiscus. We brought it home after he died last year. Everytime it blooms I believe that Joe is looking down on us. I even made Chris a believer of this too because there were jsut too many coincidences when it bloomed. First, it bloomed the day of Joe's funeral, it bloomed next on his birthday (Joe's), next if bloomed the day Sam was born and again the day we brought Sam home. It bloomed 3 weeks later when Sam was baptized. It bloomed at other various times whenever we seemed to need a reminder that Joe was not hear anymore but not gone from out lives. It is very comforting.
My sister Melissa has custody of the plant right now because we couldn't get it to Winnipeg without killing it or having it confiscated at the border while driving. It has actually never looked better, she is doing a great job of caring for it. She sent me this picture of it blooming. She calls me everytime it blooms to let me know that Joe is thinking of us!
