Rose of Sharon

What a pretty name, right? Honestly though, I'm not a big fan of this bush. Once we planted it off-shoots started coming up everywhere so I'm continually trying to get rid of them. Funny though, I never noticed how beautiful the flower was until I took a picture. I love the deep crimson in the center.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. The weather is awesome here.....great camping weather!
Nicely done :-)

Cindy, this is so beautiful and I love the soft focus. Wishing you a nice weekend, too. It's raining off & on here. and I've been busy with many delayed household projects like shoveling out my office....HELP! ;-)

Wonderful focus and softness... great light and color! The Rose of Sharon that is common here is lavender.. I like the color you have best!
