Below is the kind we find in India in almost all the houses -- in variety of colors -- Pink, Dark Pink, Light Pink, Red, Dark Red, Light Red, Maroon, Yellow, White and Orange both light and dark shades

Indians use the Hibiscus in many ways -- (in India) We boil the flowers in Coconut oil and apply it everyday for softer and healthier hair; It gives a sweet natural fragrance to the oil too -- Natural perfume

We also use the flowers for our daily prayers (in the Temples or at home)!

In olden days, the leaves were used by our elders along with the Shampoo -- not the store bought shampoo... we have a dried fruit which is supposed to be cracked and soaked in hot water for 1/2 hour. Then when we squeeze it, nice foamy liquid comes out to wash the hair -- again natural & healthy

Apparently this is called "Soap Nut" (did not know that)... this is what I am talking above when I mentioned "dried fruit"

OK, enough sharing for today! Have an awesome rest of the day🤗 🙏🏻

Congratulations to all the winners! I definitely enjoyed seeing all the beautiful flower photos. Thanks for sharing everyone!

Congrats to all the winners 👏I agree with @Pummy_Raj we should keep this thread open, so we still can keep posting all the beautiful flower pictures 🌸

I'll be adding the 50 Gold Bars to your game! Enjoy and have a sunny day everyone!

The Texas Rain Lily appears like magic a few days after heavy rains during this time of year. So hopefully, with a bit of rain during the upcoming two weeks, we will have patches of these flowers in time for Mother's Day.

@Jelly Jenny - thank you for sharing. They are beautiful.

Mother's Day is coming up and these delicate flowers are the ones we always pick from the forest for our mothers.

I wasn't sure of the name in English but Google says: "Common names include wood anemone, windflower, thimbleweed, and smell fox, an allusion to the musky smell of the leaves" I hope you enjoy these modest wildflowers

Hello @mysticalmysty, Good Morning

The "Epiphyllum" is a different variety than the "Cestrum Nocturnum"... probably variation between Indian & US varieties

I sure would love to have the Epiphyllum if I can find it here!! They do look very beautiful and remind me of a flower plant we used to have in India. They look like a mixture of White Roses and Jasmines and had too strong fragrance (not my favorite

) Hope the "American Night Queen" won't have that strong scent!!

The bottom flower you showed is what Indians call as "Lily" -- no similarity to the "Day Lilies" we find in US! This is a very delicate flower and a fully bloomed one has the width of our finger and length also as our finger! These are used in Garlands in Indian Weddings

Bride & Groom wear the Garlands

Those pink lotus look so regal @Pummy_Raj Thank you for sharing it with us. Speaking of ‘Night Queen’ ( Epiphyllum ) I had it before when I was living in Phoenix, but I could not find it here in NYC.

The other flower that I often to buy is Tuberose...
