A few years ago I bought a blue flowering hibiscus syriacus Blue Bird (I
think). last year it had its first pink flowers and this year the majority
of the flowers have been pink.
Is hibiscus like a hydrangea - flower colour depends on the soil?

Margaret, I am amazed. I thought it was my eyes or my brain or both.
Mine is the same. I keep looking at the pink flowers feeling sure
they were blue last year and mine was named "Bluebird".
Hopefully someone will give us an answer. I've definitely got
alkaline soil.

Well, I can't give an answer, but it is not like a hydrangea. My
guess would be temperature and/or water supply.
