The flowers of the cotton rose are lighter in color when they first open in the morning, and gradually deepen as sunlight increases, so within a single day they can display different layers of color. From this, the ancients sensed the beauty of the passage of time and change, and endowed it with a subtle and elegant symbolic meaning. In addition, the pronunciation of hibiscus is close to that of wealth and glory, and in traditional thinking it also carries blessings for wealth, auspiciousness and a happy life.
