Setting New Role Models

I saw this hibiscus in the neighbourhood, it looks like one, I didn't think they grew in Canada. It must be a special variety.


I think it's wonderful that Lego has recently launched its first ever all female set. The set is called 'Research Institute' and includes an astronomoer, a scientist and a paleontologist. It is sold out according to the video, and talk about setting new role models for young women!

    Isn't this a Rose of Sharon? It looks like one. They can grow in colder climates unlike the hibiscus we have in Hawaii. I think. I think it's in the hibiscus family.

    Looks like a Rose of Sharon to me. I used to have tons of them in my other house. :-)

    I love these plants, and there are hardy varieties that can be grown here. But I think they need at least a zone 5 and above. I have some in my garden.

    I remember a few years back Lego came out with an all pink set or something, and a lot of people were complaining that legos were for boys... It's funny how stupid people can be about things like that.

    Oh how surprising your news always are! I didn't know that LEGO has a female set now. They should have done it 30 years ago ... but better late than never. Thank you for sharing the news :) I love your hibiscus. We have two wonderful hibiscus plants in front of the building where my office is located and each summer when they are blooming they make me very happy!

    Nice photos of the hibiscus. I also liked the intriguing photo of the shark at the aquarium.

    Definitely a hibiscus. The flowers like sunshine, but not too much heat.
