21 Jul 21

Yeah ,It's a pretty flower

We use to see many butterflies 4,5 years ago ...but somehow now their number have decreased..

@sjvg1976 I'm on that mission...searching for the cause. Day before yesterday I saw 2 big butterflies while at the same time some 6,7 years ago we could see more than 20 butterflies flying all over garden..

@oahuwriter Indeed...all flowers are beautiful and we should appreciate it...

But I do think we should not pluck flowers unless necessary. They look more beautiful with mother plant

@ladyhero Yes,many choose commercial plants over such plants. There are many nature friendly plants which spread more oxygen than other plants....but they are always ignored. This plant also have some medicinal uses according to a site.

It is hybrid type of flower and plants are affected by climatic conditions,regions,temperature etc ... The other hibiscus which is common have long stamens and big petals..but the size of this flower is very small compared to them..the size of leaves is also small.

Usually the doubles are hybrid and the single ones are non hybrid. The red hibiscus with more than 5 petals is hybrid variety. But the one in my picture is also a hybrid variety...as the pruple colour is unusual...it is a hybrid too

What colour hibiscus do you have?

It is probably not grown much In india as many from Gemany,Italy,US etc have it... probably the climatic conditions. It had some troubles for growing in my place too ...the plant is growing well...I hope it survives and stays there forever.
