Re:Looking for place that sells Hibiscus arrangements - 2008/12/21 18:36
Hi Allen, I wish that I could give you some help with your quest, it sounds as though it would be a spectacular arrangement.
However, Hibiscus flowers are extremely ephemeral and "short-lived", lasting for only a day or so (even on the shrub), before curling up and dropping to the ground to be replaced by the next opening flowers. As you can imagine, this makes them rather unsuitable for the florist trade.
Ironically, they are wonderful as decorative cut flowers... ... in the very short term, say as an adornment laid upon a tabletop, or fixed in the hair, as you so often see the beautiful Hawaiian ladies do ... in cases such as these, the flower will retain it's fresh appearance for a number of hours with no supply of water what-so-ever, but then will close up naturally, to be discarded.
I think that if you feel very strongly about making a gift of Hibiscus blooms, you might do best to search for a vendor who will ship a live, blooming plant ... perhaps incorporated as part of a living arrangement.
Good luck and best wishes.
