this shrub of Rose of Sharon was loaded yesterday - high winds and welcome rain did most of them in - today, only two brave flowers are open - lots of buds, though - oh, per the request of a Friend ... measured this bloom (dodging the bee) -- 7 inches across !

visitor to these almost saucer-size blooms - last year the edges had a pink tinge to them - perhaps that happens as the year goes on - yesterday I walked past these - they were buds - today, wham ! look at me - got the camera ? love the elegant pleated skirts - and splash of color in the middle ~ Rose of Sharon [ a variety of Hibiscus - Hibiscus Syriacus - ] ..
