Hibiscus


Showy, showy Hibiscus. On a leisurely walk with my son, he chided me for stopping to take a photo of this flower some four houses away from where we live. He thought someone might mistake us for robbers. I couldn't resist. It seemed to call out my name, grabbing my attention. I have long wanted to get myself a pot or two of this. So low maintenance and yet so generous with its flowers.

Not only will i have something to feast my eyes on, I will also have my cups of Hibiscus tea. I will also have pretty colorful garnish for my salads. And if i am feeling extra generous, i will allow students from the school nearby get some of its flowers for their Botany classes.
