Description

Hibiscus flower painting by the artist Irina Sztukowski.
The artist tells the story:
Not simply painted a simple hibiscus flower. I saw this pink gorgeous beauty every day going down my street. When the light was right, I took a photo. And when the time was right, I painted it.

Hibiscus flower reminds me a happy dancer with the skirt spinning in the air with the speed of Nature.
I was curious to learn more about this beautiful creation. Getting online opened a whole new story for me about hibiscus family. I've learned so much; and, couldn't wait to share.
I have found out that there are several hundred species of Hibiscus Flower in the world. The usage of hibiscus flower is amazing. So many different areas are covered. For example, in landscaping, it is planted in order to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. But not only the beauty of this
flower is useful; there is also some hibiscus species that are used in
paper production.
And, in everyday life, hibiscus leaves can make a sweet refreshing tea. Yet not just that, as I learned, in some regions of the world hibiscus is used as a vegetable and as natural food coloring. Some countries such Haiti, Malaysia, and South Korea chose this gorgeous flower as their national symbol. And as the symbol, the red hibiscus is traditionally worn by Tahitian women. When tucked behind the ear, it indicates that the woman is single and ready for a marriage.

The social aspect of the hibiscus is competing with its
medical use. Besides hibiscus tea, which by the way is found to
lower high blood pressure; its roots are used to make various
mixtures believed to cure cough, hair loss or hair greying.
