The origin of hibiscus' name

The name of hibiscus originates from an ancient legend. It is said that a woman's husband died at sea, but the woman didn't believe it. So he squatted by the water every day and waited for him to come back.

One day, when she saw her husband's face surfaced, she turned around and saw that it was a tree on the shore, so she took it as her husband. People call it "hibiscus", and the flowers it produces are called "hibiscus", and later generations call it "hibiscus flower" for beauty.
