Goodnight

Jane Brumley - The lotus at the entrance to the Knotts Island causeway are Hindu Lotus. They are not native to our area and were planted by a person renting the house that had previously been owned by a Waterfield. The house was torn down some years ago. It is said that Buddha was born from the bloom of a lotus.

Rod Mann -  Hibiscus are sometimes called marsh mallow. The rarer pink ones are called pink mallow. They have been hybridized considerably. The Hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii.....so we share something special with those islands out there in the Pacific.
