Portia Tree
Hibiscus elatus; Malvaceae. Cuban bast, Mountain Mahoe
By encouraging an earthy eroticism, Portia Tree helps us embody a full-blooded sensuality. Its fiery passion is rhythmic, dynamic, deeply rooted, unapologetic. Spicy and strong, this is the sensuality of a mature flamenco dancer in red skirts and black-heeled shoes. By stirring the fire in your blood, the essence helps you contain this dynamic potency within your own body.
Flower color: yellow, burgundy. Musical term: castanets, guitars, and stamping feet.
