first bloom on my Valentine's Day hibiscus

I had finished weeding and was heading back into the house when I glanced over and was popped in the forebrain by this giant blossom. Gardens are like babies; there's no Monday through Friday for them.  Time speeds up and slows down and suddenly the unexpected happens.

Marty picked this out for me for Valentine's Day.  Doesn't seem to be a hybrid, which means it may survive what appears to be a bumper year of chinch bugs in 2011.  I love the soft pink; it's the first non blue, white, yellow, purple plant I've put in the front garden.
