Different colour blooms!!
Soooooooooo, question.... Could being water stressed in extreme heat (got up to 110° today) explain this DRASTIC colour change in her blooms?? This is the same hibiscus plant, yesterday vs today. I left early this morning with my sister to help her pick up two aquariums and a stock tank pond from her ex's and then take it all out to my boyfriend's property, and I didn't expect to be gone THAT long so I didn't water everything before I left. We ended up being gone for nearly 6 hours, and when I got back home, my hibiscus all looked ATROCIOUS (which I totally expected). I watered them immediately and then came inside to lay down for a while. I went out again about an hour ago to set up a sprinkler that my boyfriend ordered for me and once I got it finagled the way I wanted it I started to come back up the driveway and saw that Xanthiya had bloomed since she'd been watered, BUT THEY'RE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOUR! She has gone several days without water before, but she was always in the shade up on my porch when that happened. This is the first time she has been water stressed in the sun and the heat and it's the best hypothesis I can manage 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ So does the logic track, or am I just pulling stuff out my bum? 😂😂

Hi @SpyderLily yes! Hibiscus can change color and changes in temperature is one reason. I would guess temperature at 110° would do it!!
Well, she's still not quite as vibrant as before, but at least she's no longer completely bleached 🤦🏻♀️😂😂 Hopefully she'll get back to her full former glory and splendor in a day or two. 🤞🤞
