1. Absolutely heavenly!

2. They are, and always think of Aunt Marie, who grew them in Conn., our 'country' place!

3. I always think of the home where I grew up in WV.

There were several on the property, including one by the kitchen window. Much appreciated and visited by the local hummingbirds!

5. I've got a pink and a white one in my backyard, but...

the heat is really stressing them.

They were blooming, and quite beautiful, up until the daily temperatures got over 100.

6. I have always loved them. Even before tip knew their name was like mine -Sharon

7. Lovely! Do they have a fragrance?

[elleng]

8. I don't think so,

never noticed such.

'Except when the “rose” in question isn't even a rose, that is, and doesn't smell like much of anything… What rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus, lacks in aroma, it makes up for in sheer beauty, with a dazzling display of single or double flowers from midsummer to fall or first frost.22 Mar 2023'

11. For 25 years the apt building across from our apt building had Rose of Sharons....

White, pink, and ? pale violet ones! So pretty.


then last summer in a different neighborhood there were a bunch of white and pink ones. So lovely to see!
