something merry and bright
A hibiscus flower that's strong and bright! It may not seem much, but this small plant has struggled all year since I planted it, the buds and leaves eaten or dropping off. But finally it's happy and produced this lovely blossom, with more buds in sight. I take it as a good sign - why not?! Here's wishing that the New Year can bring similar signs of success and joy. Cheers.
