Flowers: side by side
I recently wrote a note to this group -- concerning two flower plants
that are situated side by side; the plants are Hubiscus plants/flowers. One of the produces flowers, whereas the other one does not. I was always under the impression that these plants are male and female and they need not have the aid of a bee for pollination. (sp?). Also, I live in Florida, about in the middle of the state, north of Orlando. What is the best time to prune these plants? I have been told all sorts of things. Thanks, Mark |
