Mother's Day plants

For Mother's Day last week I got some nice cards from John and Brenna and my godson David. I also got a box with some plants from Megan.

One is a new Hibiscus..."Sanibel Yellow". Apparently it's a new variety...and I am one of the first to own it...pretty cool. Let's just hope I am also NOT one of the first to KILL it.
actually I have a pretty good record with Hibiscus...don't ask about orchids...haha
I also got a croton...which I love because of the bright colors on the leaves. we have one croton in the back...but it's mostly yellow/green/orange. This new one has red/green/yellow.
I bought some new pots...some potting soil and I am going to see what I can do!
They also included a snippet of a "Knockout Rose". It's supposed to be easy to grow...but roses have always kind of scared me....so time will tell. But I like my new plants!
