I have a big pot of Sea Hibiscus growing outside my gate in front of my house.
This is the colour of the Sea Hibiscus flower when newly bloomed in the morning.
It blooms all the year round but the flowers only last for a day.
By mid day, it will starts to change from yellow to the above colour and by evening, the flower will drop off from the plant.
I have propagated a few baby plants for friends using cuttings from the mother plant.
Recently, I noticed some dried seed pods on the plant. Maybe they were there before but I didn't notice them.
Some of the seed pods were opened and I could see tiny seeds in them. So, it shows that Sea Hibiscus can multiply through seeds. I have not tried using seeds but I think plants that grow from cuttings tend to flower faster.
A flower bud (above) and a dried seed pod (below).
Everyday, there are new buds on the plant. This is a hardy plant and does not need much care.
Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.
Blessed is the man who reveres God,
but the man who doesn't care is headed for serious trouble.
(Proverbs 28:14, The Living Bible-TLB)
