Hibiscus or Rose of China (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is a flowering plant that can bloom almost year-round. It has large, colorful flowers and is cultivated throughout the tropics and other warm climates. Hibiscus vary in size. The normal height is 12 to 18 inches, but they can grow to as high as 5 feet if not cut back.
For the Arabic word for success in the context of Islam, see Falah. For the star, see 67 Ophiuchi. Fellah (Arabic: ÙÙØ§Ø­ââ, fallÄá¸¥; plural Fellaheen or Fellahin, Arabic: ÙÙØ§Ø­ÙÙââ, fallÄá¸¥Ä«n) is a peasant, farmer or agricultural laborer in the Middle East and North Africa.
Thus in origin, falafel would be rollers, little balls. A Coptic Egyptian origin has recently been proposed via the unattested phrase *pha la phel (Î¦Î± ÎÎ± Î¦ÎµÎ»), meaning of many beans. The Arabic word falÄfil has been globalized into many other languages and spread around the rest of the world as the general name for this food. In English, it is first attested in 1941. Falafel is known as taÊ¿amiya (Egyptian Arabic: Ø·Ø¹ÙÙØ©ââ á¹­aÊ¿miyya, IPA: [tË¤ÉÊËmejjÉ]) in Egypt.
