Dear all,

The attached pics were taken from Kaithal last year, this plant used to be cultivated few years back for its fibre, now our area has almost totally confined to wheat-rice rotation. For our area, it is pleasure to find this in flowering, which, unfortunately, I could not.
This probably flowers during the first half of the day, and I approached this in the evening. Attaching the pics from Kaithal of Hibiscus cannabinus L.
