“One plant commonly called “rose of Sharon” in the US is Hibiscus syriacus…….”
It’s not really a rose at all
There are Biblical Origins but scholars can’t agree

Fun post about a flower I love
And this rose of Sharon is also mentioned by Steinbeck (in grapes of wrath)
And like the after the rain capture
Thank you for that mention of Steinbeck, too. They are extra beautiful and abundant this year. The hummingbirds love them.
Yes- and this last week mine have had lots of those fuzzy bumble bees
And my rose of Sharon’s were late to bloom full because I had to trim them twice this year in later spring early summer
And so finally enjoying the fullness
That is beautiful!
Beautiful picture, love these. My neighbor has these and they are stunning.
Really lovely.
Thanks Kristin
I like all of the little buds as well; the promise of future blooms…
