Those hibiscus are easy. I just pick a flower, long enough stem for a vase, cut the leaves off and halve the two nearest the top and put in water and leave it alone. The bloom dies as they do and after a couple of weeks or so the teeny root tips start appearing along the stem. I leave them until I have a good clutch of roots then pot up into loose damp potting mix and keep in shade until it is obvious they have transitioned safely into the mix. No rooting hormone or extras needed. Might take longer in Winter, but it's definitely worth a try - way cheaper than a nursery grown potted plant too!
Boy we had some great thunder and lightning over the sea last night. The beast spent most of it tucked under my chin, no desire to go for an early morning wander, for which I was very grateful. Almost makes up for the weather making the bones talk back! A good sleep does wonders, doesn't it?
