Hibiscus, the flower of gods
During my childhood, I remember
the hibiscus plant grown in most of the households and people plucking the
flowers early in the morning for their worship. That was about more than two
decades ago. Today, these plants are rare sights in the metros. This beautiful
hibiscus flower was captured in our small garden in Mysore.
