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.
please visit "today's flowersif you'd like to see more beautiful blooms or if you'd like to add your own.

It is just gorgeous! I miss my Rose of Sharon trees. I planted them when I lived in TX and again in Mass. I wonder if they still are as beautiful. Thanks for sharing! ~karen
