The Colour Changing Flower Of Hibiscus Mutabilis

There is one flower that I like very much and that is the colour changing flower of the Hibiscus Mutabilis aka Cotton Rosemallow.

Another name for this flower is the Confederate Rose.

In the morning, the new flower will appear in white.

I took this snapshot after a light shower.

The sad thing about this flower is that it is very prone to pests.
I wonder if others have the same problem concerning this plant.

Twice I have grown this plant in my garden.

And both times, my plants were destroyed by the pests.

By midday, the white started turning pink.

These snapshots were taken before the pests attacked my plant.

From light pink to deeper pink.

Before the plant was destroyed, I managed to propagate some for a friend.

I might consider growing this again sometime in the future.
Just have to wait and see.

The following pictures are for joining Saturday's Critters.

During our walking tour in Ipoh old town, we came across these pets waiting to be adopted.

Cute puppies are so adorable.

We saw this cat resting under the shade of the car.

To avoid being stepped on, the cat went further under the car.

made clean by Christ's dying for us once and for all
