Plant essence guidance for the soul:

Creating a way through a doorway.
A unique sense of self, controlled within but exhibiting pizzazz on the outside.
Two faces help expose the inner doorway to a person’s inner being.
This is the time to rejoice that you have made a start in a new direction.
Things may seem uncomfortable for a time as you are getting used to the new energies that are surrounding your planet Earth at this time.
For those who want to start something new, the energies are about trusting the power within. However, if you are aligned with the energies that have been on the planet in the past, you will find you are having difficulty relating to the new vibration.
It is going to bring about changes that you have wanted, but now that it is here many of you do not want to receive it. This energy of conflict will create unnecessary difficulties for you on your life path at this time.
Rejoice and welcome the new energies in with the Love, so that you are able to gain a perspective on how you relate to this new energy, and how you relate to others with this enhanced energy within you.
Many will have difficulty relating to you in the beginning; however, the energy is fast-moving and compels people to make decisions.
Interesting tidbits:
       Hibiscus is a connoisseur’s flower. The Hibiscus flower lasts only a day or two at the most. Its greatest value lies in the beauty of its large flowers. Literally every known colour is represented.
      There are over 150 species of Hibiscus, native to every continent except Europe. Tropical hibiscus are evergreen. H. syriacus, the Rose of Sharon, is deciduous. Its origin is China and India, and it was cultivated in Syria in ancient times. Its growth is more upright than the tropical species. H. rosa-sinensis is one of the most widely cultivated species. The plant flowers profusely in red, orange, yellow, and purplish shades.
       Hibiscus is derived from hibiskos, the Greek name for marshmallow.
        A tea can be made from the flowers, primarily for the taste.
        Hibiscus is also a source for a black dye, with which the women in eastern Asia tint their hair and eyebrows. H. abelmoschus has been used as an insecticide.
         In Jamaica H. rosa-sinensis is known as the shoe flower, because the petals are used to polish shoes.
         In the Pacific Islands the women often wear a hibiscus flower behind the left ear to tell people they are married, and behind the right ear to let suitors know they are available.
        In the Victorian language of flowers, hibiscus means delicate beauty.
