Yellow Sea Hibiscus in the Morning




This is one of the most beautiful flowers in Borneo Island.

It is yellow in colour in the morning and by evening its colour will change to a beautiful maroon.

the Polynesians and many islanders use the bark of the tree to make twines which can withstand sea water. Hence these ropes are good for fishermen and sailors.

The twines can also be used to make hammocks.
