Since I last posted, we have had over 2 inches of rain fall onto my GEORGIA GARDENS. I am ever so happy to not be out in the humidity dragging a water hose around! The Rose of Sharon are happy as well. I have three in a row in colors of....
Purple...
Pink...
and Pure White.
New to my gardens this year is First Editions, Hibicus syriacus 'Minspot'
This bloom is really neat don't you think?
Another new to the garden would be Hibiscus syriacus 'America Irene Scott' A seedless Proven Winner.
The variegated leaves make this one different then any of my collection of Hibiscus.
'Sugar Tip' is a beautiful bloom like no other.
And a surprise from me, the Saucer Hibiscus decided to return after a year of being missing in my garden!
One of the many buds before opening.
And very large Hand Sized blooms! I am happy thus far with all the ROSE OF SHARON, In the Garden...

They are really pretty! I used to have them in Tiger Gardens but got rid of them. Too many seedlings. I might think about that seedless variety tho. At the new house we have three that my friend Angie gave me. We'll see how they do with seedlings. Christine does have one and it is huge. She dug it from an old homestead. They really do make a good presence in the garden. So glad you've had rain! None here to speak of. I've been irrigating but despite that a lot of my new shrubs have died and even some trees are showing signs of stress in the form of crispy leaves. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are all pretty! That one is huge too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and I'm glad you've gotten some rain to water your gardens.

I don't have one Rose of Sharon. I threaten to get one now and then but haven't done it yet. I don't think I have enough sun to make them bloom. Sigh~~ You have a fine collection.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are getting enough rain this year, too, Skeeter; I know that isn't the case everywhere. I've had to water my containers occasionally, but that's about all this year. All your Rose of Sharon and Hibiscus look lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hibiscus!!
