Garden Affair: Shoe Flower

 Summers are at their peak we have seen unusual summer this year due to western disturbance emergence for many  parts of summer . The unpredictable downpour and the concurrence of Cyclone Biporjoy had brought down temperature and consequently plants are blooming. 

Hibiscus which is popularly grown around the world is also called  Shoe flower in some parts of the world. It is widely grown perennial with gigantic flower which blooms for a day. 

                                                         




Why is Hibiscus also  called Shoe flower                                                                                                     
                                                                                               
In countries like Malaysia and Indonesia the flowers are used to produce Black dye which is used to produce Shoe polish. It is basically a tropical plant which is also known as China rose. There is a interesting fact that some parts of Pacific islands women wore these flowers on their heads to state their singleness.                                                                                                                                    









It is the time for link up party Garden Affair where we can share posts related to Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will remain open for a week until Saturday.

Dry and Hot weather

 Summer season is at peak in our region, the scorching heat has made it impossible to step outside in daytime. Temperature is hovering above 40 degree Celsius.  

The efforts toiled to protect plants from summer heat are proving to be waste due to excessive heat and humid climate. 

            Meanwhile some hardy plants are striving the heat and daring to bloom in this hot weather.

Adeniums are most drought tolerant plants that can withstand any possible weather conditions
