HIBISCUS
 
 Hibiscus,  I love  your fragrance and hue
as you sit amid the deep green leaves,
the lavish hues, to catch the eye
 in the  sun o'head or oft' askiew.
 
You blossom dayly  with   litttle care
 and flourish though the weather peeves.
with  single or double colourful  petals
 you flaunt in the tropical air.
 
And yet compared to roses, you are plain;
compared to orchid, you lack the grace.   
But here in Malaysia, you lead the rest.
Hibiscus, I love your  fragrance and  hue.
