I noticed as I sat on my patio this afternoon that my Hibiscus Bonsai had begun to bloom… Gorgeous white flowers with dark purple centers.
Whenever I see Hibiscus flowers I am transported back to Hawaii. The colors, fragrances, sounds and tastes return to me in a flood of memories.
So, as I sat – taking a break from the chaos of life – I couldn’t help but smile.

Wow! The Hibiscus is such a lovely flower. I wonder if I could grow them where I live as an accent plant. And would we be able to make tea from them! It’s wonderful how plants can bring back memories of trips and loved ones.
Hi from MBC Christine! Isn’t it amazing how something as simple as a flower can transport us to another place? Love those precious associations. Your blog is great. I’m looking forward to reading more!
