I joined the Color Crazy Challenge started by Kim. It will be purple this week. For today’s challenge, I chose a macro hibiscus flower. Hibiscus is a deciduous shrub with upright growth. It blooms from late summer to mid-fall. The flowers are pink with a dark red center (the heart of the flower). It responds to prolonged drought by dumping buds. If the shoots are damaged by low temperatures, cut them back to the first live bud in the spring. The genus is quite large, comprising hundreds of species native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions around the world. Hibiscus blossom tea is widely known around the world and is served hot and cold. The drink is known for its red color, spicy taste and vitamin C content.

I’ve never seen a purple hibiscus before, thanks for sharing with us, it’s wonderful! ??
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, my friend…
What a beautiful shade that one is. I have tried the tea, usually made out of the red flower if I am not mistaken. Great shot Lado.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Kim…yes i drink it from the red flower too … probably this is the only one they make tea from
I had heard that, but wasnt really 100% sure. There is this place right up the road from us at our desert property that makes the BEST hibiscus tea ever.
I’m also not sure which is why I prefer to buy it at a discount
Nice photo of a purple hibiscus. I have eaten the flower and it tastes like lettuce
Thanks for watching a friendly comment, dear Pamela…..that’s interesting … I haven’t tried the hibiscus salad before
I didnt have a hibiscus salad just ate part of the flower on the spot.
Now I understand, dear Pamela … you ate part of a flower … and how does it taste?
Tastes like lettuce not much else to say. Rather bland
OK … now I understand, my dear friend
I have a few hibiscus plants but never saw this color. Very pretty.

This is called the rose of Sharon. It belongs to the hibiscus family. Great shot Lado, I need to prune mine too, it isn’t doing too well for some reason.

Oh, wow! know hibiscus but never seen a purple one. This is very pretty.

The popular color of hibiscus here is the red.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment….
Lovely flower. I just love the purple color,. I enjoy hibiscus tea, I brew up the tea and because it is tart I mix it in with some regular tea and it all comes out really delicious.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Sandra….I also drink a lot of tea in the winter
I have the crimson hibiscus on my deck. Never tried the tea. Lovely color.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Carol…I don’t know if every hibiscus is good for tea … I copy it in the store
