The hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii
and the national flower of Malaysia. It is presented as a welcome gift to
visiting state officials and tourists, in the form of a lei. Women also wear
the bloom behind ears.
Traditionally, hibiscus
flowers represent delicate beauty, unity and peace. The
hibiscus has five petals that each represent a different quality and come
together to represent ultimate peace.

I have been to Hawaii a few times and love the leis....God blessed every part of the world with such beautiful flowers!
I did not know all that about the hibiscus. I just thought it was a pretty flower. I planted one a few years ago but apparently, it was a tropical one instead of the hardy version so it didn't last a second year.
Very beautiful shots of the pink flowers, Ginny!
this one is a beauty, kind of like ours but not. I love the color. I can tell you that the blooms are full of ants and if you bring inside or want one behind your ear, they need to be washed and remove the ants first. I wonder if these have ants like ours or is that a florida thing
Goodness, you took gorgeous pictures Ginny. That last photo of the close-up, love the detail. The petals always remind me of a delicate crepe paper. The hibiscus is one of my favorite flowers and I enjoyed all the information you gave. Always love learning these things.
Well...our hibiscus have no ants like Sandra...I LOVE them...as I love your photos Ginny.
So pretty... and perfect scripture once again!!
A very pretty flower and a lovely shade of pink!
I love those gorgeous flowers.
I love that passage in John - it is wonderful to know that someone who spent time with Jesus - he was so sure of what he was saying - that he too was willing to die for him.
I love the Hibiscus flowers. These are beautiful and that color is perfect.
They are so pretty! They look very delicate and extra beautiful under sunshine :-) I got lei when I visited Hawaii. It had red hibiscus and white flowers. Very pretty :-)
