hibiscus
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
Those lines are from Thomas Gray's immortal Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.
The scene in the photo is from my village in Kerala.
I walked that path for years and years,
many years ago...
Let me present a few more shots of the hibiscus buds and flowers I found along that path during my last visit home.

I have all those flowers (the same colours) at home. The first one though often called Hibiscus is not one. It's name is Sleepy Mallow. Every time we go to the nursery I pick a new colour. Love them.
