Hibiscus flowers seem to be appearing one at a time, unlike the extravagant bougainvillea. But lovely. Between the hibiscus and the bougainvillea is oleander. Attractive enough when in bloom but not something we would have chosen to plant. Not only toxic if consumed but should not be touched without gloves and after trimming you really can’t dispose of the branches by burning because the smoke from the fire would be toxic. Probably not instant death, but not encouraging.
Did rain heavily, if briefly, during the night. Bit late for any further development of the oranges but must have been appreciated by the flowering shrubs.
