Flower of the Hour by illinilass

Flower of the Hour

This had popped up I my front area during the 3 weeks I was gone! Cute but I pulled it. We are going to plant something but haven’t decided what yet. Maybe I need to stay home!

“Hibiscus trionum, or the "Flower of an Hour," has uses as a traditional medicine, food, and ornamental plant. Medicinally, its flowers are used as a diuretic, to treat skin ailments and wounds, and to aid with digestion and parasitic infections. Young shoots and leaves are edible, and the calyces of the flowers can be used in beverages or jams. The plant is also cultivated for its ornamental value in gardens.”
So lovely pic😊

I’m sure they will come back in another location. I just don’t remember from year to year the name. I was surprised they are in the hibiscus family.

How lovely to find this when you got home from your travels. Your information about the Hibiscus plant took me back to my grandma and her herb law. Fav
