The IHS differs in that it is an internet association. Instead of monthly
meetings at a fixed geographic location, we talk 24 hours per day via
the IHS mail list, which is a searchable, photo capable channel of written
communication. Combined with this web site, which incorporates many
different possibilities for members to participate, we have an original
medium that provides us new ways to enjoy hibiscus.
If you are simply interested in hibiscus and don't yet have any, if you have only one or two plants or hundreds, you're the kind of people we want to know. There is nothing at all intimidating about our group; in fact we are known for "Caring and Sharing". We are just a bunch of people interested in hibiscus and willing to help in any way we can, so please do give us a try.
The principal goal of the International Hibiscus Society is to bring
together hibiscus enthusiasts from around the world. We hope to jointly
develop this site to offer members unlimited access to many features:
hibiscus archives, photo competitions our cyber publication Hibiscus
International which is becoming a vast resource of information from
around the world, etc. - in essence as many aspects as the imagination
of the IHS membership wants to develop.
It is based on the principal of accommodating change so that it can better evolve to serve needs yet to be identified or imagined.
IHS is not an umbrella organization over other national associations.
Quite the contrary, it should be view as a supplement to their activities,
and provide their members and all hibiscus enthusiasts’ new ways
to enjoy these beautiful flowers. In turn the IHS will endeavor to credit
and support other such associations to the fullest.
Although Hibiscus rosa sinensis, tropical hibiscus, is the group of
preference for most of us, we welcome those with an interest in other
members of this vast and diverse family.
In keeping with the global scope of the IHS, our members speak many languages: Although most members communicate in English, we have an internet translations site to convert communications as needed.
To sign up as a member of the IHS just click the join button above

of hibiscus. Remember, there is no charge for membership - its free!
And if for some reason we don’t provide what you are looking for,
it’s just as easy to unsubscribe.
