If you see chewed on leaves and petals...well, its grasshopper damage. This is going to be a bad year for them and I'm not sure how many the birds can eat to keep up. With pastureland all around us, we have to take this as part of it living here.

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I'm trying to take pictures while I can of my flowers. The drought is what is causing the grasshopper explosion this year. They have preferences on what they like to eat but once that is gone they'll eat the rest.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year to have this hibiscus plant. The nursery said it was 2 years old. It's called, 'Robert Fleming' in case you want one. I love the color. I think one of every color would be good also..... Including the pink one @Katyroo.
'Robert Fleming' is exceptional and a new one to me... very beautiful. It's very disheartening to read about all these heat and drought situations. I certainly hope it changes for you soon... Larry
