I'm fairly new to gardening, most of the flowers and plants I have are stuff my mom brought and helped me plant. I love hibiscus flowers 🌺, and have a couple small ones with buds but no blooms yet. I'd seen a few BIG hibiscus plants around town with beautiful blooms and decided I wanted a BIG one and wanted it to have blooms on it already! So I spent a couple days this past weekend searching around town at different local nurseries and garden sections and finally found one! She's 4 feet tall at least with a handful of big pink juicy flowers!! I love her!!!
So, I took it home and stuck it in a nice big pot with nice gardening soil and it looked soooo cute!
Next morning I take a peek at her and the flowers have closed up??? Hmm. Quick google. Oh okay, apparently closing up at night is part of their life cycle. Cool. I keep reading and find out that it's also the END of that bloom's cycle 😠Hibiscus flowers only bloom for ONE DAY!!!! It will continue to make new blooms throughout the season, but each individual flower will only last about a day!!! Sure enough by yesterday afternoon the flowers that looked so lively yesterday have dropped off and are laying on the ground.
My plant has a lot of buds so I know I have a lotta flowers to look forward to, but I feel silly having searched so much for a plant that already had blooms considering I hardly got to know them!
Tldr: searched all over town for a hibiscus with blooms only to find out the blooms only last a day!!
