Click 1 - Hibiscus


This is a Hibiscus or Shoe Flower as we used to call it when we were kids. I tried to google why its called so but couldn't really figure it out. So incase you have a clue do let me know. This was clicked recently in a garden nearby.
Click the picture for an enlarged view. You'll enjoy it better.

The snap is good, but may I know why that name on bottom-right corner? Does it indicate possessiveness?

Name in the bottom right corner indicates copy rights. And it also means that the pics clicked by me.

The petals of hibiscus flower, in olden days, were used to polish shoe hence the name shoe flower..It is, now, used to make black dyes. :D
