: Here are my babies, Fluffy and the baby.
(Haven't named the baby yet) Fluffy was found
outside in October. (pennsylvania) And was near
death. Actually, when I first saw her I thought
she was dead. I could get my fingers arond her she
was so thin, and has MBD from whoever owned her
before me. (I'd love to know who it was!) My baby
is great, although also had a tramatic start in
life. (You may remember the "tail wagging" post.)
The baby was almost frozen to death being shipped
to a petstore in a plastic bag near Christmas.
: Fluffy is 10" svl, and the baby is a bit over 3"
svl... I want them both to have a great life and
be spoiled rotten. Which leads me to my question.
: Ok, I don't post often here, but spend a lot of
time reading. I've looked up Hibiscus on the Net
and came up with many different kinds.
: Hibiscus syriacus,
:
: - hardy hibiscus

: - hibiscus flowers

: - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

: - Hibiscus sabdariffa

: - hibiscus plant

: - hibiscus tree

: - hibiscus tea

: - Hibiscus moscheutos

: - Hibiscus cannabinus

: What can you tell me about these? Are they all
Iguana safe? Also, from reading all of your posts,
it seems that these are just treats, right?
: Not a part of the everyday diet.
: Is there anywhere I can get just the flowers? Or
do I need to buy the plants and just offer the
flowers when they bloom? (I'm good with animals,
: but can kill any plant in no time!)
: Thanks for all your help, sorry no Poop stories.
(Unless Fluffy "letting loose" in the family room
while I was holding her counts!) *LOL*

Hi,I also live in Fla and have 25 bushes that my Cirsis helps herself to and my bds also eat them.Ive raised these bushes so they are safe for them.Leaves and flowers are safe for humans also,I've eatten the flowers not the leaves.My babies also love (sp) gerainum leaves.I have a black thumb,and I've raised them without much more than watering during dry season.Here they are cheap to buy also.Lots of luck and double red hibiscus to you and your baby.
