Hibiscus Hummingbird Food Continues

 


It's no wonder hummingbirds love Hibiscus known as Sorrel in Jamaica or Roselia in Australia. For as many species of the beloved hummingbird there are Hibiscus varieties dwelling in the sub-tropics. 

A Global affair as the national flower of Haiti while being used in Hindu religion symbolism. 


This Godsend "Rose-of-Sharon" or Althea is enJOYed by butterflies and mankind alike. 
The added bonus to this spirit lifting joyful flower is the  medicinal properties of Hibiscus.
It "may aid" in lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, blood circulation. Studies indicate liver assistance and metabolism along with inflammation by clearing heat. Rich in vitamin C and active flavonoids these flowers fill the bill of fueling the body and spirit.  



I've used these flowers for stuffing in beautiful tacos, filling for crepes, tidbits in cookies and granola. Drank in childlike kool-aid hot or cold and the adult version of cocktails, Margaretta being a favorite.

This is what the ‘Power of Weee’ calls  

 “A Return to Original Medicine!”
