Rose of Sharon - Hibiscus Syriacus


Beautiful upright shrub that produces blooms throughout the summer. The blooms don't last very long at all, but new ones bud out and continue providing beautiful colors against the green leaves on the plant. I love Hibiscus shrubs. This is from my garden last year. I went to buy a pink one, but they said they only had white yet when it bloomed it was pink! Nice surprise, since that was really what I wanted. Maybe I will find a real white one to integrate into my garden, if I can find room!

Save the Bees!

  Bee painting My daughter painted the Bee with acrylic paints, and we used it for our "Save the Bees" poster. We love Bees because we need them for pollination, especially my fruit trees. I try to set out different plants that bloom from early spring to late fall in order to attract them, as well as the hummingbirds!

Shasta Daisies

  Shasta Daisy I just love the perennial Shasta Daisies that bloom continuously in the summer and come back every year! They grow larger than some of the other varieties and seem so healthy and vibrant when surrounded by some of the other colorful flowers in the garden. I read that they are a hybrid developed as far back as 1890! I think they are very graceful and love the bright white coming off of the center which is a beautiful yellow color, not quite mustard yellow, but close!
