Rose of Sharon


I'm hearing that September 8 is the night of the Harvest Moon!  Look out for a big bright moon tonight.

Husband M, son K and I took my good friend out to lunch for her birthday yesterday.  Then my friend and I went for a walk and a cup of tea after.  We had severe thunderstorms this past Friday then the weather got a bit cooler.  It is still very pleasant though.

Here are some Rose of Sharon photos in the neighbourhood, in the last one the blooms are open.  A friend gave me 3 sprouts and I am trying to figure out where I can plant them!  I have them in a pot right now.

    The moon has been lovely for the past few days. I'm going to keep a lookout for the super moon; that'll be cool!

    I love Rose of Sharon. Beautiful flowers.

    I have a Rose of Sharon bush with white flowers. It blooms non-stop from July through the beginning of September, and I don't have to do anything to it. My type of plant!

    Those look like hibiscus, which grow in Hawaii. Could they be the same plant with 2 different names?
