Hothousing?

Remember this?

Daniel’s hibiscus plant.  Well, imagine my surprise the other day, when I walked over to the ‘indoor garden’ area of the classroom and saw this:

Not only had the plant produced buds, but one of them had bloomed.

Sadly, hibiscus flowers are notoriously short-lived, and this one lasted just a couple of days.  But we are very optimistic about the remaining handful of buds!
