A Rarity in My Backyard

We have at least a half dozen Rose of Sharon growing in our backyard. They are very good at planting themselves. The one pictured here is the only one I purchased on sale at the end of last Autumn.
I've been waiting for this one to bloom, anxious to find out its color. All the rest of ours are pinks and purples. I guess I got lucky. Isn't she a beauty? This photo is a credit to the Sun's handiwork.
