My Hibiscus sure has re-grown-lush and green--BUT the leaves on it are completely alien to what they were last summer when it bloomed so nicely. See pictures above. The leaves on my Hibiscus are totally different shape. There are NO flowers on it. It is totally weird!!! We have discussed this to no end at the Mid Atlantic Forum. NO! it is not grafted anywhere. NO! I did not repot it and so the soil level is appropriate. --I have taken pictures of these weird leaves and written up a summary of how this Hibiscuss was overwintered. --Added significant pictures and gave it to the Bell Nursery Rep. (they provide all the plants at my Home depot)--she promised to e-mail it to the growers in Florida to see if any of them have an idea of why this Hibiscus mutated the way it did. Here is the leaves it grew out this summer. Compare them with the pictures above from last summer. Any ideas why? Thanks, Gita |
