Dear Joe,
You had me foxed for sometime. Actually quite a few
flowering plants in your album are exotic plants that are grown in Goa,
including the Hawaiian hibiscus. This species originated in China. Hence the
botanical name Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. It is called a
shoe flower because the petals were used to blacken the shoes. Works well as a
hair dye, too.
A good collection of photos, all the same. I
have asked my friend Ashish to prepare a CD of herbarium sheets, so we can use
them to inform people when they need to identify plants.
Together Everone Achieves more. TEAM.
Warm regards,
Miguel
