Last summer, we were walking through a garden center and saw a hibiscus plant. It said that it was a hardy hibiscus, so we decided to pick one up and see if it would survive the winter.

Once again, we brought our hibiscus plant inside for the winter. It seems to be doing better now than ever. We made room to put it in front of a window that actually gets some natural sunlight.

We picked up some houseplants in the spring. The snake plant has been in the window, getting plenty of sun. We noticed a stem coming up with a bud, so I guess it's going to flower.

It's almost February now and I noticed that our hibiscus had a flower that opened. It's a nice change of pace from the temperature in the bedroom being in the upper 40s.

Today I took a look at my hibiscus cutting that I've had in water for a few weeks. It definitely has little white root bumps that are very noticeable now.

I've been wanting to try rooting a new hibiscus plant from the one we currently have and got the chance to try it out. It seems to be getting tiny white bumps on the stem that's in the water.

Our hibiscus is still alive after the squirrels ate it up last fall. It's been blooming and slowly improving all winter while it has been in the house.

Our hibiscus has lots of little flower buds. I'm really surprised with it being winter and the fact that a squirrel had eaten it bare last fall before we brought it inside.

Our hibiscus is blooming just a couple of months after the squirrels ate it bare save a couple of flower buds. It's been slowly recovering and now the buds have opened.

Our hibiscus seems to be coming back for the second time this year. First in the spring it got sunburn and lost all its leaves. Now it's recovering from a squirrel all but eating it bare.
