Tres Bon - Katrina Casualty

Here are three different faces of the hibiscus cultivar Tres Bon. The First is a cool weather one taken in March 2005. The second bloom was taken in late May 2005 and is more typical. The last bloom is a sun bleached faded bloom. Tres Bon was one of my favorite blooms. It is another Bobby Dupont variety. The Katrina floodwaters were too much for Tres Bon to survive. I'll miss this pretty bloom.
