DIXIE CONFEDERATE ROSE
White in the morning,
Pink in the afternoon,
and deep Red in the evening.
Historical Folklore: Why this particular southern plant changes her colors.
During the Civil War; a wounded Confederate soldier lay hurt and bleeding at the foot of a large white hibiscus rose bush. With no one to attend the young man, by early noon his blood had seeped into the bush turning is pink. Come evening...with the last of his blood spilled and as the South cried, the Dixie Rose changed its color once again -- to a deep red.(¯`❀
This flower ritual is repeated daily.
