Why a Hibiscus Flower Doodle?
First up, why hibiscus?

They can also mean new beginnings and welcoming energy – which makes them perfect for journal themes, vision boards, goal pages, mood trackers, and more.
Drawing a hibiscus instantly lifts the feel of a page. It’s like planting a little seed of happiness right there in your planner. Plus, if you’re doing seasonal spreads, these are awesome for summer layouts or even to add some warmth to winter pages when you just wanna dream of beach days.
Hibiscus flower doodles can be as detailed or as simple as you want. You can go for a big, bold colorful bloom or a soft minimalist line drawing. Both styles look stunning.
