Red Hibiscus Flower in Yellow Hibiscus Plant (A rare phenomenon)

Hibiscus is a flower which is integral to the rituals and customs of Hinduism, especially Kali puja. Worshiping Goddess Kali remains incomplete if we don't offer red hibiscus flower to venerate her. There is a devotional Bengali song "Mayer payer jaba hoye othna phute mon", sung by many popular singers including Pannalal Bhattacharya. In the garden of our co-operative society (Keramik Co-Operative Housing Society in Baishnabghata Patuli Township), there are few hibiscus plants, which include both red and yellow hibiscus. One day, I noticed that the yellow hibiscus plant near the boundary wall of our premises has blossomed a red hibiscus flower and this is quite an uncommon sight for me.



The day before the same thing had occurred but I did not have the opportunity to see that or photograph that since someone plucked the flowers very early in the morning. This day, I did not let off the chance and entered the garden with my Canon PowerShot SX500 IS point and shoot camera. I took two snaps of the flower from the side because it was difficult for me to get a view from the front as there was not much space. The link of the two photos is given below. Next blog coming up soon!
