My Hibiscus

Hibiscus
                         Flower I planted
                      When I was young,I
               Nurtured it till it  grow, one
                 Morning on my door step
                    Step  I find it chopped
                             On the floor

:( It's sad when something you have invested so much in is taken away like that.....cruel. Find a new flower to plant.

Hibiscus - the red flowers with deep crimson centre - they can take a good cutting back when they're planted as hedges.
