Double Treat

Flowers, as regular readers of Writing Straight from the Heart know well, are sources of pure love and beauty.

Hundreds of posts from this blog have been on flowers.

Also reiterated numerous times is the fact that my favorite color is pink.

So imagine my delight upon seeing pink Rose of Sharon flowers blooming in my daughter and son-in-law's yard!

The pink flowers are like flags waving in the breeze, bringing peace and joy to all who look their way.


Rose of Sharon are native to East Asia and India.


Those blooms are part of the intense beauty of spring and summer in this area of the USA.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ORIGIN OR FOLKLORE PERTAINING TO  ROSE OF SHARON FLOWERS?

  1. Beautiful flower Susan. I don't think I have ever seen a Rose of Sharon plant. I'm guessing they do not do well in our Summer heat. I enjoy all of the flowers that you post.

  3. Those flowers are such a soft pretty color, and they look like a blush color, which is a favorite these days. I don't know much about these flowers, but I had a blog friend who grew the Rose of Sharon in her garden.
