Thanks to everyone for the kind words, they do mean alot to me. Lesley the big purplish flower is a tropical hibiscus. We also have a red one and an orange one. The blooms don't last long but they surely are pretty. We have to bring them inside in the winter (the house turns into a jungle what with my cactus, orchids, hibiscus, and various house plants that spend the warm months on the porch outside) and they do ok as long as they get as much sun as possible.
