Remember the big honkin' hibiscus post and photo? I wondered what would happen if the plant decided to sport multiple platter-sized blooms.

Well, I just wandered into the backyard and counted fifteen – 15! – of the blooms on the one plant. And it doesn't seem to be suffering any ill effects. Apparently, Somebody sure knows how to do some structural engineering!

Unfortunately, because of the spacing of the flowers and the way some of them are hidden behind the foliage, a photo of said plant just isn't very impressive. Use your imagination instead.

I won't believe it til I see the photo. ;-)

Unfortunately, because of the spacing of the flowers...

and the fact that the photographer does not have 16 hands (15, plus one for the camera)...

You could just take a photo and photoshop it like Pancho....;)

Next you'll tell me there's no Santa Claus!

Gwynne, I'm looking for Julio; I think he can do a sketch for me. And I'm pretty sure he can supply all the hands that Jim needs.

I don't need more hands. More brain cells perhaps, more hours in the day, certainly. But I'm happy with just two hands. Tell Julio to keep his extra hands to himself.
