When I was outside this afternoon cutting away more tomato plants which had died in the recent freeze, I happened to glance over at the hibiscus bush. Imagine my surprise when I noticed a bloom. In mid October. Crazy weather. Hibiscus flowers bloom for only one or two days, so I think this one will be wilted by tomorrow morning. But it was a treat for it to bloom so late in the season.
There were a few ripe red raspberries, but I didn't take a photo of them before I picked them off the bush and popped them in my mouth. Yum!
We are supposed to have a bit of a freeze again tonight, so it will be interesting to check tomorrow for what plants have died and which ones have bloomed.

Enjoy your hibiscus while you can.
What fun to see that pretty hibiscus!
Hi Willow, that is one of the prettiest hibiscus flowers I have ever seen. I love them too. When I lived in California we had a big red bush in front of our house. They so many more varieties today. I especially love the double ruffly ones. You see a lot of the peach colored ones where I live now. Have a great afternoon!
