Second entry for today. While on the way to Rajgad, we saw a couple of red Hibiscus flowers on the road. We plucked just one of them for the small Ganesha idol in our car. Ghanekar Sir was quick to point out that this common red Hibiscus(Jaswanda) flower that we see everywhere is actually Chinese.
Its scientific name is Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis (where Sine -> Sino -> Chinese). Very interesting!
