My favorite garden book says 'Rose of Sharon' is a mallow (Hibiscus syriacus). The flowers in the photo are definitely not mallows. The tree shape, leaf, and flower color look like rose of sharon. I couldn't make out the flower shape but it didn't look quite right I admit. I have seen some Rose of Sharon with different looking flower shapes. A closeup of the flower should be definitive. -- Dan Espen |

I couldn't make out the flower shape but it didn't look quite right I admit. I have seen some Rose of Sharon with different looking flower shapes. A closeup of the flower should be definitive. It reminds me of crepe myrtle but once again doesn't seem quite right. The leaves don't look right, they should have erose edges but more rounded scallops than points, the branching structure doesn't look right either, and the bark looks wrong too... the picture is too blurry to make out flower configuration, only the flower color appears correct for the most common but there exist other color blossoms too (cream, yellow, lavender, white, even blue), and I'd like to see the flower buds... I won't say it's rose of sharon until I see a better quality picture, and I like to see where the trunk meets the ground... it's mostly that branching habit that struck me immediately as looking wrong to me. |

Is it possible to get a better image of the flowers and leaves? -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Yes, swooping is bad." email valid but not regularly monitored |
