Last year my four hibiscus plants were out in the yard around the fire bowl in big pots. I planned on doing the same this summer. The hungry deer had different ideas. One hibiscus plant died over the winter, so I cannot blame them for that. The other was brutally eaten beyond any chance of recovery. The surviving two had to be wheeled into protective custody inside the fence on hand trucks.

I guess they will spend the remainder of their lives behind bars.

The peach double seems to have recovered rather nicely.

The red had more limbs removed , but is finally blooming.

Hibiscus blooms are even lovely from the back.

I am glad I was home to rescue these lovely plants from our hungry herd.
