{Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis 'Snow Queen' - Variegated}

On August 6, I did capture a few photos of our flaming red Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis 'Snow Queen' - Variegated. Let me show it to you:
Tropical Hibiscus Variegated Snow Queen
See link below post from Emerald Goddess Gardens
Now you can see our white picket fence underneath the red blossom... The Southern Magnolia tree is to the left.
We view this from our bay window area and it is in a pot.
You also find them in the link from Almost Eden Plants, below this post.
Here you clearly can see the picket fence and the magnolia trees. The Japanese magnolia tree to the right and its leaves above in this photo. Our Southern Magnolia tree is to the left...
Do you have a variegated hibiscus in red?

      This one is beautiful and striking due to its variegated leaves. We too have a pink and double variety and one other very large and special, our Kona. They are listed under the links below my post.

      Guess they named it that way for its 'white' variegated leaves otherwise that naming doesn't make much sense.

  11. Dear Mariette, you can't even imagine how many sweet memories this flower brings to my mind: it's about when I was a little girl, about my family and my old dear grandparents!
    Thank you for giving me this "present"!

      Thanks for your touching comment. Geraniums always bring back frond memories of my early childhood when my Mom had those as indoor plants in the window sill. Their fragrance is forever embedded into my memory and they always evoke fond memories...
      Guess the earliest memories are the deepest embedded.
      Hibiscus flowers are very special and you cannot but love this plant.
      Hugs to you,

  12. Liebe Mariette,
    Hibiskus ist wirklich eine wunderschön Blüte.
    herrlich, was du uns gezeigt hast.
    Ich besitze eine Topfpflanze mit safrangelben Blüten.
    Ich werde sie auch mal fotografieren.
    Einen schönen Sonntagabend wünscht dir

      Ja, unsere ist auch eine Topfpflanze, eben grosseren Topf aber im Winter geht sie ins Gewächshaus da sie tropisch ist und keinen Frost erträgt.
      Sie sind so schön und verdienen es um fotografiert zu werden!
      Unser Sonntag war schön und ich wünsche dir eine schöne Woche.
      Lieber Gruss,

      Thank you for your comment and visit and yes, it is a delicate tropical plant that needs protection from frost. Hence the reason we keep it inside a pot to move it inside our greenhouse for the winter.

      Indeed this name hardly makes any sense...!
      The white picket fence (vinyl) is lovely and it adds to the overall view. Let's hope that we get to see some lovely blossoms next spring on our Japanese Magnolia in pink color. This spring they all got frozen by late frost...
      Lots of hugs and love to you from the USA,

  21. It's lovely to have so many different trees and plants and blooms surrounding you. My balcony needs a major cleaning and plants replaced because of the heat. We will travel again next month for a week so maybe should wait since there will be no one to water at that time.

    The dishcloths measure 6-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches. I had given one to a lady a couple of years ago and when I saw her at the Sadu House the other night, she said she is still using it. :)

    Have a great week. Tammy

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      Thanks for your visit and comment on our plant(s). It is nice to be surrounded by them, especially if they stay alive. But we lost so many roses to the drought and also trees and shrubs... This was in 2011 and now it was too wet; that too killed some of them.
      Sure your region is very hard for plants to survive, especially when no one can water them. What about Jingles when you are traveling? Hope she gets taken care of!
      Such dish cloths for sure bring lots of joy and they can be used for many years. Labor of love!
      Wishing you a happy week and hugs,
      Mariette

  22. Good Morning Mariette, Hibiscus bushes gift us with such beautiful flowers and your plant is no exception.
    I have a hibiscus bush which I am trying to grow, but I think it is too cold here in the North of England. I will put it into the greenhouse to over winter, so fingers cross it survives. If it does not, then I will always be able to come back and enjoy your beautiful Hibiscus.
    Best Wishes to you,
    Daphne

      Our Hibiscus also have to go inside the greenhouse during winter, hence they are in a pot.

    This is a magnificent red Hibiscus! Red Hibiscus is very common on Rhodes (it's one of the symbols of the island), but it's a different variety. I love Hibiscus flowers!
    Have a wonderful week, dear Mariette!

      Thanks for your sweet words! There is even Hibiscus tea... so this is a very popular plant but there are so many varieties. This one is a rare exotic. Thanks for sending a hug for our furry babies and I'm sending them back to you and yours.

  24. Dearest Mariette,
    This is indeed a very special plant!!! I also have hibiscus, as they are common in Greece, as Annuk said, but not this beautiful exotic variety. Your garden looks so beautiful, you are lucky to have rains, here in Athens we just had the first rain of the autumn today, just for a little while, but it was refreshing.
    Thanks for your visit and kind comment, the clocks are destined to a Christmas charity and that's why the greek bloggers are making or recycling so many!!!!
    Hugs!!!!

      We had heavy rains this afternoon while I was driving... no fun but I arrived home safely! We had way too much rain this summer but now we enjoyed sunshine, starting the last week of August. On the side here above you can always see our weather.
      Yes, our hibiscus is an exotic one and that's why we have this too.
      Loved your clocks and even more since I know they are for a Christmas charity. Labor of LOVE we call that.

  25. Lieve Mariette,

    Prachtig en sierlijke bloem van deze hibiscus soort.
    Ik zag en fotografeerde ze vaker in vakantielanden.
    In mijn tuintje zouden ze niet passen,te exotisch en geen ruimte om de plant te laten overwinteren.

    Kwam laatst ingemaakte hibiscusbloemen op rozensiroop tegen voor bij feestelijke gelegenheden in glas champagne te laten drijven,hoe luxe wil je het hebben;-)

    Lieve groet,
    Ger

      Ja als thee waren ze mij bekend maar nog niet zoals jij ze hierboven beschrijft. Inderdaad een luxe delicatesse die niet voor ons budget is bestemd.
      Ja, wij hebben nog wel de ruimte om ze te laten overwinteren. Is wel een heel gesleep altijd met die grote potten. Zolang we het nog kunnen...
