The hibiscus sits about 8 inches from the window. We now call it "the plant that could not be killed by conventional means." ;o) Hope you are having a great Sunday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637557309399845617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-36665496740159525382010-05-21T05:38:53.294-04:002010-05-21T05:38:53.294-04:00Nectar was good, but no teeth left ;)Nectar was good, but no teeth left ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-68859963452246772242010-05-20T23:09:42.434-04:002010-05-20T23:09:42.434-04:00@M.
