ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hope you recover quickly. I have missed OUtdoor Wednesday and am so happy to be back. Your Rose of Sharon is just gorgeous. I have never seen one but have heard of them, how big do the blossoms get? From your picture they look enormous. You always take the most beautiful pictures. Feel better.

These are just beautiful! If you saw my post from earlier this spring you know I have a special place in my heart for these. Hope you feel better soon. Kathy
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful. I love the Rose of Sharon. The color is so great! Reminds me of the Song of Soloman...
ReplyDeleteOh Susan,
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are feeling better soon.
We used to have Rose of Sharon at our last home. I loved them so much.
Thanks for sharing yours.
Susan, I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness Mr. Linky worked so you didn't have to do it by hand. I was so nervous doing it for my WHITE party, but it was fine...I missed you, but now I know you are sick...Next time!
I love Rose of Sharon. I have a hedge of them. Not blooming yet here. I just bought a BLUE one. It will be a few years before it amounts to anything!!
Take care of yourself!!
I love the centers of these - they look like a that raspberry sauce you see on cheesecakes. I'm hungry now! ;)

Hi Susan, I'd send flowers to make you feel better, but it looks as though you have plenty!
ReplyDeleteI love hibiscus and the Rose of Sharon is a beauty. Yours is just covered with blooms and your photos are gorgeous.
Feel better soon!
Your Rose of Sharon takes my breath away Susan! I hope that you are feeling better very soon.
ReplyDeleteHello Susan, I love your Rose of Sharon blooms. I have a huge tree and would you believe I haven't gone outside to see if it is blooming yet, since we arrived home late Mon. night. LOL. Yours is gorgeous and the same color as mine.

Hi Susan, Your flowers are so pretty, are they fragrant? I hope you are feeling well soon, take care!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you are not feeling well. It is harder for me to be sick in the summer when the weather is warm than when it is yucky outside. I think this is only my second outdoor wednesday, so I am very excited!! Thanks, Susan!!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful. I'm hoping to transplant one from Mom's garden next year.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better :)
Lisa
I have a well established Rose of Sharon tree out front and I love it. The colors just brighten my day. Hope they do the same to you.
ReplyDeleteI have Rose of Sharon in my yard as well. They are not blooming yet. I have transplanted them from my old yard and I think it will take a season for them to get acclimated to their new home. I brought 5 seedlings and thankfully only one did not survive the move.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Robin
Such a lovely bloom! Hope you are feeling better soon. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteYour Rose of Sharon are so pretty. I have some in my yard, too, but they aren't blooming yet. They are from my grandmother's yard---one is purple like yours, and the other one is white with a pink center. Thanks for sharing!!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteKaren
I have one of those in my backyard and wondered what it was. They are so pretty. I hope you feel better soon.

ReplyDeleteLove the Rose of Sharon; mine are not blooming yet. Just HUGE because of all the rain I guess.
Cass

Take care!
Robin
Happy Outdoor Wednesday! this is my first attempt (I don't have a digital camera, so I have to borrow one) This was fun!
ReplyDeleteYour rose of sharons are beautiful. We had them planted at our first house and I loved them. They were so easy for me to take care of. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
I love Rose Of Sharon! Such pretty petals. I don't have one, or probably any more room for one. But oh, I admire them!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Susan, I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteRose of Sharon reminds me of my grandmother as she had them in her yard when I was a small child.
Love to you, my friend...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Susan, your rose of Sharon is amazing! We had one in the front yard - and it didn't do so well. I'm not sure if it was too shaded, or didn't have enough shade ... I didn't do much research on what they neeeded, and it was a transplanted specimen that might not have made it through the transition well. Anyway - if they had made it, I hope they would have been as beautiful as yours. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSusan! Poor Baby!
ReplyDeleteWe always give one another "Poor Baby's" when we are feeling poorly in our family.
I should live on the right coast instead of the left coast. I get up late, too I'll try to get my posts up earlier.
However, EARLY isn't in my vocabulary!
How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Hello lovely Susan. Your Rose of Sharon plants are gorgeous. I love how the sun is filtering through the petals in the last shot. I hope that you are feeling perky very soon and that old virus is banished to the compost bin.
ReplyDeleteXOSue
That's rose of Shannon? It looks so similar to hibiscus blooms!
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
