"I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow" -Abraham Lincoln.

Hibiscus is a flower which can be seen in mostly in South Indian residential gardens. These flowers are used in puja, kept in the center of kolam or rangoli, some woman keep it in their hair and is also used in home remedies regarding skin & hair. And we all know that in early ages the art was inspired from things which surrounded them. Like human beings, flowers or we can say fauna and flora.
The center of the kolam or rangoli design is a small flower. Leaves and curved lines together with the small flower form a triangular central design. There are six hibiscus surrounding the central design. The colors are kept to the natural shades of the flower. Red, yellow and half white hibiscus.
Hibiscus are separated by curvy lines. There is balance in the design both symmetrically and color scheme. There is rhythm in the kolam. There is also emphasis in the design. This comes in the category of flower kolam, rangoli and other kolam. It can be drawn with the guidance of dots or just drawn as a rangoli.
