There are many genus of hibiscus flowers. The Malaysian national flower is hibicus rosa sinensis. Besides, my home country, South Korea has also chosen a type of hibiscus to be her national flower, the hibiscus syriacus or more commonly known as Rose of Sharon.
The flower appears in national emblems, and Korea is compared poetically to the flower in the South Korean national anthem. The flower's name in Korean is mugunghwa (Hangul: 무궁화; Hanja: 無窮花). The flower's symbolic significance stems from the Korean word mugung, meaning "immortality".
I wonder if I can buy this genus of hibiscus here in Malaysia?Here is some information about this plant.
