Hibiscus

I LOVE HIBISCUS!

I haven't had much luck growing them in Panama.
I have 4 at the moment and they're lucky to be surviving!
You see, evidently the leaf cutters love them as much as I.
I can't tell you how many times they've had to recover
from being completely stripped clean over night!
(This is why I've only planted a few)
Bill has been working on ridding our property of the ants,
but it's quite a battle.
Hopefully they'll let up some in the dry season.
By the way, it's not the Hibiscus he's worried about...
The ants have a varied palate and especially love the many things he's planted,
like the Papaya I don't know if ever will recover!
