I realised the beauty of this plant when we
planted it in my terracota pot.
Deep green serrated leaves and blood red flowers- no wonder it is a darling of goddess Durga.
This time I observed it bloom between 7:30 and 8:15 in the morning. Tried to capture it in camera.

Rosa sinensis a Study
and excerpts
Much of the claims are based on tradition and anecdotal evidence instead of
scientific studies. In a rather rare study, Adhirajan et
al. tested
the effects of two Hibiscus rosa-sinensis extracts, one made from leaves and
one from flowers, on albino rats.
The extract was made by drying and powdering leaves and flowers of the plant, extracting them with petroleum ether and then mixing a gram of the extract in 100 ml of liquid paraffin. This produced the 1% active compound, which was topically applied on the backs of shaved mice.
