Sharing my Rose of Sharon blooms from my garden. A friend Ruby asked to see the blooms. Always excited to see these as they attract bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. I have three bushes and they are all starting to bloom. Photo is mine. Enjoying your day everyone?

That's a beautiful flower. My lovely pink poppies are gone for the year. I wish they lasted more than a few days.

Thank you, a favorite to see blooming. Lilies don't last long either but these sure do.

I'd heard of Rose of Sharon before, I didn't know what it looked like. Thanks for sharing

Your Rose of Sharon is a pretty colour, we used to have the nicest shade of light purple on ours. Oh yeah, purple is one of my favorite colours.

Thank you, I always look forward to these blooming in the front along the driveway. Funny thing, every now and then I will get purple bloom on mine.

My grandmother named me and I was named after the rose of Sharon from the Bible.

On my second cup of coffee and then I'm off to work. That's a great picture! I love the contrast with the deep blue sky in the background.

Have a great day. Thank you. The bushes are getting so tall, I manage to get the sky if I take a photo at the top of the bush. They are way over my head.

I love your Rose of Sharon. I used to have a row along side of my house just like them. A friend of mine gave me sprouts to plant and they grew to be beautiful. Mine were just a little pinker. Thanks for the picture.

@CarolDM I like the flower and rather have the bees go to it than come to me.

Another beautiful flower and picture. I never did hear back from Virily. Sigh. My day is OK. Hope yours is great.
