Malaysia Independence Day 2014
This Doodle’s Key Themes
The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. It's known as the Bunga Raya in Malay. To help celebrate this year's independence day, guest artist Red Hong Yi created this artful arrangement of Hibiscus flower petals.
She also created a second version using some pink petals that you can see below. It was hard to choose! Both were quite beautiful.
