Hibiscus Petals
Hibiscus Petals
This amazing flower brings back memories of my childhood as we had Hibiscus growing in the garden and I always enjoyed their presence.
Not only does Hibiscus look and taste really great (when brewed into a tea), it also has a variety of positive impacts on health.
One particularly beneficial effect is on high blood pressure, when Hibiscus tea is drunk daily, it has shown in studies to lower blood pressure (especially systolic blood pressure - the top figure that measures the amount of pressure in your arteries during contraction of your heart muscle).
Hibiscus tea is also helpful in reducing high cholesterol levels, easing muscle cramps and traditionally has been used to support the central nervous system.
It also contains glycosaminoglycans, sucrose, organic acids, copper, iron and anthocyanins, vitamin B3 and vitamin C.
I brewed up some today and gave a cup to everyone here at work and we all agree that it tastes delicious - it is very easy to drink and simple to prepare.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
