Information on Hibiscus rosa-sinesnsis

Submitted by cfellrath on Thu, 02/08/2018 - 21:49

The flower I photographed was the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Malvaceae, commonly known as the “Snow Queen.” This flower is commonly found in Asia such as China. The flower is edible and can be found in salads, along with other uses such as hair care. The flower can be a pH indicator, in acidic solutions the flower turns a deep purple and in basic solutions the flower changes to green. In China, the flower is used for medicine and skin care.  The flower is grown in tropics or subtropics because it cannot survive in temperatures below 10oC (50oF).

The phrase "commonly found in Asia such as China" is not as clear as it could be. Instead, try saying "commonly found in Asia in countries such as China".
