First Rose of Sharon Bloom This Year

Was outside walking around in the yard. It helps to get your mind off the world. I noticed a few new blooms. I have three rose of sharon shrubs (called Red Hearts) in the front. They have just started blooming. The butterflies and bees will find the pollen soon. Always enjoy seeing these big blooms. All three bushes will be covered soon. Each year they grow taller. And are now close to 10 feet tall. More like trees in my opinion. Amazing. Snapped this photo to show you as the bloom was blowing in the breeze just now.

@CarolDM It would be hard to get a photo of an entire shrub!

Neat, you should take a picture of your whole garden sometime and post it. I know I have said this before, but I am sure everyone would like to see the set up.

@CarolDM I guess the only way you could show all of them would be if you did a collage.

The photo looks like a gumamela in our local name. It's one of the species of hibiscus.

It is in the hibiscus family. That is correct. These blooms are not as big as the hibiscus. But close.

Blooming flowers gives us happiness. It looks similar to gumamela flower we have here. I used to have a yellow gumamela and it also grow tall. But we have to cut it when my father started using the piece of land for planting vegetables
