Hibiscus (Hawii rós in Icelandic)

When I woke up this morning it had blossomed for the first time.
A gift from my husband on "Konudagur - Housewife's Day".
Konudagur is the first day of Góa - always a sunday, 8th week of winter.
To celebrate more daylight and the beginning of spring.
Góa is the fifth and second last month of winter, according to the old icelandic almanac.
