It had been raining for the past three days. The Sun was engaged in a pointless game of hide & seek with the clouds. It was a relief for me as the temperature went down considerably but I wasn’t happy. My China Roses were suffering. The constant lashing of the rain was too much for them to handle. I was afraid my li’l buds might just wither away...
But today when I woke up in the morning, I was greeted by a smiling Sun and another lovely sight. My China Roses were all abloom! I couldn’t believe it at first. They fought bravely. And blossomed. They did not wither away afterall.
The Sun too greeted them with a soft sunshine and a lovely day. Yep, those in the picture are the Red blooms of mine! ^_^

@responsiveme yes, my mother did tell me about their benefits. Especially about the benefits of the oil extracted from the petals of a hibiscus.

Are those called China Roses in your place? It resembles the gumamela plant/flowers in our country (Hibiscus rosa sinensis).
