Hibiscus

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon and the flowers are in bloom. The hibiscus plant in particular, was blossoming really well..

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

This is also Malaysia's national flower.. It comes in all sorts of colours and there are well over 200 species of hibiscus. I just found out that South Korea's national flower is also the hibiscus, but a different species.

Mr.Brownie just had a leak at the plant and is walking away nonchalantly.
Is that why the plant's growing so well and the flowers are so big and bright?

We have Hibiscuses down here in Africa. Even KwaZulu-Natal's South Coast is called the Hibiscus Coast. They are very pinkish red.

"Women hold up half the sky" - Chinese Proverb The book I would like to share with all of you this month is called Half the Sky written by Nicholas Kristof & Cheryl Wudunn. This couple are actually journalists who have covered stories worldwide. This book is a must-read for everyone. It shares candid stories of women all over the world and the difficulties that are faced by them. Prostitution, Sex-trafficking, Rape, War, Childbirth , Education - and how you can help. By reading you can understand a little bit more of how people are living in countries like India, Pakistan, Africa..makes you feel really blessed and fortunate. Most importantly, it makes me realise I should do something to help these women, and not just by donating. Sure the world is free from slavery, but these women are still tied down as 2nd class citizens; the book calls them the 21st century slaves. Unable to have a say in anything decisions, forced to do what their husbands/societies ask them to, it...

There is a time for everything, And a season for every activity under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build, A time to weep and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to dance, A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain, A time to search and a time to give up, A time to keep and a time to throw away, A time to tear and a time to mend, A time to be silent and a time to speak, A time to love and a time to hate, A time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Bobo Saying Goodbye Rest in Peace, Brownie. We miss you loads. ~5th February 2009~
