They always have great looking plants.  I had to take a picture of this hibiscus because the flowers were enormous.  It reminds me of <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=4279\" >Chi-Chi<\/a> on steroids.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4761031228\/\"  title=\"IMG_1617 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4123\/4761031228_bbb854d1cb_b.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"IMG_1617\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Its leaves are like five times the size of Chi-Chi&#8217;s leaves.  Brian thinks that if we were to plant Chi-Chi in the ground or in a larger pot, she would grow to be the size of this hibiscus plant also.  I think they might be two different varieties, though.  I just can&#8217;t imagine Chi-Chi ever getting this big.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4761041664\/\"  title=\"IMG_1622 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4102\/4761041664_9bfe46ab10.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"IMG_1622\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took a picture of this corner because Brian and I ate here on our very first trip to Kansas City, over ten years ago (before we were married).
