Description
This enormous flower is a Dinner Plate Hibiscus and there are several plants around a pond at O'Connor Woods where my Mom lives. They are stunning in their size, almost 8" across but also in the lovely colors that vary from a pure white to a deep magenta.
The hibiscus is a national symbol of Haiti and the national flower of nations including the Solomon Islands and Niue. Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Puerto Rico and Malaysia. The red hibiscus is the flower of the Hindu goddess Kali, and appears frequently in depictions of her in the art of Bengal, India, often with the goddess and the flower merging in form.
The hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Tahitian and Hawaiian girls. If the flower is worn behind the left ear, the woman is married or has a boyfriend. If the flower is worn on the right, she is single. The yellow hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower.
