Hibiscus

I don't think I've ever mentioned a habit my dear hubby developed years ago, but it really is important.  He was going to Aberdeen Washington when logging was being shut down because of the spotted owl.  The town went into a deep depression that it still hasn't really crawled out of.  This made DH think how blessed he was to have a job and family, so he started buying flowers for me every month when he was in Aberdeen (partly to help their economy a little.) For some reason I always forgot that he was going to be coming home with flowers - I was just happy that he was coming home. Every now and then he would buy an orchid plant or something.  He couldn't resist this bright red hibiscus and we have had it in the greenhouse or the back yard for over a year and it blooms all the time. Now I feel blessed.
