Or Rose of Sharon, Rose of Sharron, Rosasharn.... A Flower a Day for February .

My 80-200 mm lens is neither my favorite nor my most useful, but it's got the best specs of the glass in my bag. Whatever: It's a delightful toy. This photograph seems to recommend it. [Revised 8/5/12 to clarify the comment]

Or Hibiscus, or Althea. When I planted this bush, now many years ago, I was probably expecting a different flower. But I've been pleased with these.

WindsorDi's comment on yesterday's photo noted that her "Rose of Sharron" looked like my "Hibiscus." I call mine by both names.... In my heart, though, a Rose of Sharon (still another spelling) looks like these flowers--which are also Hibiscus, as it happens.

One of those pictures.... My vehicles, the rose of sharon, our past-their-prime daylilies, and the unfinished house across Brittney Lane. Oh, yes; there's that iris peeking around the corner, too. I really don't know whether I like this pic; there are interesting elements, but it's such a sloppy critter.

A flower a day for January ....

Pretty outside today, but quite chilly.
