Edible Flowers: The Marvelous Hibiscus edit

Pa_1 I grew up in places blessed with magical gardens, an unimaginable rainbow of colors and fragrances that would connect you directly to the heart of mother and father nature.

I have memories of walking in ecstasy through my great grandmother's garden: oh, she had so many plants, flowers and fruit trees! It was heaven to me. Even thou I was just a little girl exploring the world, I remember how good flowers tasted! Yes! My favorite were the miniature white roses and the pink hibiscus. There were some yellow and  also white wild berries that were delicious too: sweet and little bitter at the end.

Yesterday I woke up to find some beautiful hibiscus in my garden! Oh, they were so big and colorful! The good thing is that this variety lasts 2-3 days open. Regular hibiscus only stays open one day.

So, facing this kind of beauty I have been seduced to share with you the picture and some information about this wonderful plant. During my last visit to Belize rain forest I found an article about hibiscus in the local -Visitors Guide- from June 30, 2005, page 12. An excerpt of the article follows:
