Florida was discovered by an explorer named Ponce de Leon. He named the state “Florida” which is the Spanish word for “flowers”, because, upon his arrival in this new land, he saw nothing but gorgeous flowers everywhere. I imagine one of the flowers must have been the hibiscus, a flower that grew in the front yard of my childhood home. In fact, as a kid, it seemed like this flower was everywhere!
When I moved from Florida to Texas, shortly after my arrival, I was in a store shopping for items for my new home. I overheard a lady talking to another lady. She said she had just returned to her home in Texas. She had been vacationing in Florida and she was so excited because she had found this wonderful flower! She said she just had to bring this gorgeous flower back home to Texas and plant it her garden.
Being from Florida, my curiosity was peaked. I wondered what Florida flower had impressed her so much. Turns out it was the hibiscus.
I’ll never take the hibiscus flower from my childhood for granted ever again. In fact, if you ever relocate and feel a little homesick, try transplanting a flower that reminds you of the home you left behind.

I bought this #hibiscus two years ago, on clearance and nearly dead, and it has fought its way back since then. Finally, a blossom! It's small, but it's lovely!! pic.twitter.com/W0rnqs5dz2

Dried #hibiscus flower is used in the production of hibiscus tea. The tea is caffeine free, red in color and tastes like berries. It is believed to bring many positives to the human health by reducing the blood pressure and the cholesterol level as well as the blood sugar levels. pic.twitter.com/7BnNzLmTB5

I think I need to try this idea. I lost all my flowers from previous home to the city where I currently live. they all died.
One cool thing I like about living in Austin, Texas. I’m not a gardener but it seems like the soil here is very good and people have a lot of success transplanting flowers from other places.
This is a great idea and I have done this over the years.
You have often shared photographs of the flowers in your lovely garden. They are very much appreciated.
I have recently transplanted few flower in my village home
What was the name of the flower?
I brought a certain variety of Jasmine from my home town to the city I live in.
I love jasmine. I even had a friend named Jasmine.
