The following year, I let it grow—and I’m so glad I did. Now it rewards me with delicate, creamy-white blooms that last only a short while, opening for a few hours before folding back into themselves. It’s a fleeting sort of beauty, a daily reminder that not everything is meant to last—enjoy the here and now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"author-d-1gg9uz65z1iz85zgdz68zmqkz84zo2qoxw4nqoz82zsz70z5gz83ziz84zc4z71zz80z7rz77zsz65zqnyqz77zpz90zz71zk\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eHibiscus trionum.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author-d-1gg9uz65z1iz85zgdz68zmqkz84zo2qoxw4nqoz82zsz70z5gz83ziz84zc4z71zz80z7rz77zsz65zqnyqz77zpz90zz71zk\"\u003e Commonly known as Flower of an Hour, this annual is native to Africa and southern Europe but naturalized in parts of North America.
