Field of Red Hibiscus Flowers

Hibiscus flowers are frequently linked to matters of the heart. Their vibrant, intense colors, particularly the deep red varieties, evoke feelings of love and passion. In some societies, giving a hibiscus flower to someone can convey a romantic message or symbolize the intensity of one's feelings.

The hibiscus belongs to Kali, a manifestation of primordial energy. She represents empowerment, and with that, admittedly, comes destruction, making her a fierce goddess. To understand why she is tied to the hibiscus requires delving into a bit of mythology. Kali is a form of Devi, the supreme mother in Hinduism.

Hibiscus encourages us to feel safe, open, and grounded within our place in the universe. It unblocks, stimulates and encourages sensuality, sexuality, and passion.
