Wordless Wednesday - Hibiscus Rosa Sinesis






Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, also known as Chinese Hibiscus is the national flower of Malaysia. I've been growing a few varieties of hibiscus at the moment and they're actively growing and blooming in my garden.

  2. The Hibiscus are absolutely a beautiful flower. :)

    And they have other uses too. My mom used to make an anti-dandruff shampoo out of the leaves.
