Beautiful photos, Patty!

What time did you take the photos?

 

Thank you, Sue. I took them between 6:23 am and 6:28 am. I loved the full moon since it was snowing last night and I didn't get to see it.

 

that first one is a winner aka winter winner

 

Patty, I did not know that you ever got up that early.

 

Only to pee! Oh, and to take pictures.

February hibiscus. Another surprise but no more buds for now. Still working on ridding the plant of the pesky whiteflies. Having some success but they are persistent because hibiscus are about their most favorite spot to hang out and rear the little baby whiteflies who also love the leaves.

 

Seems they love begonias, too, so I have bought some sticky things to put in the pots. With all this offensive weaponry, I hope it will work. I think once I started on the hibiscus they transferred next door to the begonias. Although the begonias look healthy at this point.
