Hibiscus blooms at dusk, and its birth is only an instant, hence the name "Shun". Its flowers are five, and its color is crimson. Although hibiscus is perishable, it is a few flowers, one after another, after summer and autumn.

Hibiscus of Malvaceae
Shrub, 2-4 meters tall, yellow-brown branchlets, alternate leaves, simple leaves, rhombic to triangular ovate, sometimes 3-lobed, with serrated edges. Flowers solitary, inserted in leaf axils, bell-shaped, with 5 petals. Capsule, ovoid, native to central and eastern China.
There are hibiscus flowers in the court, which set in the morning.
The hibiscus blooms and falls at dusk, which is beautiful but embarrassing. Beauty is old, and youth is gone. Zhuangzi once wrote about life span and vision in "Happy Travel" ―― I don't know the future of auricularia auricula, I don't know the spring and autumn; There are ghosts in southern Chu, and 500 years old is spring and 500 years old is autumn. In ancient times, there was a big tree, eight thousand years old was spring, and eight thousand years old was autumn. The so-called "fungus" is considered by later generations to refer to hibiscus. The hibiscus flowers that bloom and fall at dusk can't know the full moon and the bright sun, can't understand the cicadas in summer, and can't understand the changes from cold and summer to spring and autumn. This is the limitation of vision. As for those big trees called "Ghost Spirit" or "Big Toona Tree", they have a long life span and broad horizons. In the eyes of the ancients, hibiscus flowers were considered as flowers that failed in a short time and could not last long. In addition, it is colored and tasteless, which can be described as a disqualified flower, and the flower products only get the lowest level of "nine products and one life".
Brush white cups and plates to see hibiscus flowers
The first time I ate hibiscus, it was the last time. At a friend's dinner, I saw lotus root with hibiscus honey juice on the menu. Maybe I'm curious and put it on a plate. After eating, I only feel that the lotus root is crisp, the honey juice is thick and sweet, the petals are tasteless and the taste is not very good. This is far from the fun of tasting food. Presumably, it is nothing more than cutting flowers into filaments and decorating cups and plates.
In my memory, there is a hibiscus flower next to the old house. Teenagers are naughty, children are playful, and words are exciting. They think hibiscus flowers must be poison, which will kill people. Some older children preach how sweet and delicious this flower is and how to eat it. Just at that moment, the expression has betrayed the lie, tasteless and withered.
