Dear all,

Interesting to share that the National Flower of S. Korea is a Malvaceae member.

Its Hibiscus syriacus L.....locally known as 'Mughungwa' , means eternity.

The flower can be seen even in the National Emblem of S. Korea.

Yesterday photographed them from my Institute's campus.

You can get more information from the below cited link:

Best regards,
Ritesh.
