What do you intend to use them for? I have some which I was given for my birthday, have heard they're great in cocktails but am thinking maybe they'd make glorious cupcake or cake toppers, for extra special effect.

Oh yeah we can get them in woolworts here in Australia...put them in a glass of champagne.

Hey Mrs Cake,I love your blog and often comment on it.Thanks for the link.

I poured bubbly and a drop of peach schnapps into a flute,added a hibiscus flower and served them up to myfriends at girl's lunches a few years ago,and that is what my daughter wants to do.The flowers open up and look very pretty.

Aww, thanks Cath! :-)

That sounds delicious - so a sort of hibiscus bellini? Yum!
