Question
Hi Nick,  Hope you enjoyed your vacation.  To bring you up to date:  Before I had a chance to purchase the copper fungicide my hibicus bloomed (last week).  It took approx. 4 days longer than in the past for it to fully bloom.  Following the first bloom we had two more(still taking longer).  Currently there are 6 large buds that should bloom in a day or so, I will follow up to let you know.  You had requested a photo but, unable to do.  My pic format is tif.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Sherri, good to be back:) sounds like it will be fine, but the copper should be applied once every couple of months as a preventative, and keep a close eye on developing buds for small little pepper type dots, a sure indication of aphids which can and will suck the bud until it drops off.:)Nick
