This Rose of Sharon came from my Dad's front yard, a few years before he died. I moved it when I sold my house and married Dan. It has lots of babies coming up, and really needs to be moved because it is encroaching the driveway...but I would hate to lose it!

These were on the roadside - a large clump - and always make me smile. They are such happy flowers! Commonly called Black-eyed Susans, or Brown-eyed Susans, or a variety of other names...

beautiful flowers! :)
I love the color and shape of the first one. I hope you can keep it. :)
I love the rose of Sharon. Beautiful!
Gorgeous shots and beautiful blooms!
Such lovely photographs . . . black eyed susans and daisies are my favorite flowers. I like the simple old fashion blooms. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. Connie :)
Beautiful flowers. The Rose of Sharon is such a pretty color, I hope that you are able to keep it. Maybe you can move part of it, or thin it out and not loose it. Do a little research for the best time and process to do so. I know you want to hold on to it and keep it thriving too. Good Luck!
My mother had her drive lined with Rose of Sharon and I always meant to get me one. She sold the house and moved to town and I never did.
Than two years ago I had one come up as a volunteer in a very bad spot but new instantly what it was and left it to grow. Birds must have dropped the seeds.
Last fall I finally transplanted it to the corner of my yard and was sure it would not make the move. It did and I just got my first blooms on it this week.
Beautiful flowers! The first one resembles Hibiscus.
Lovely Linda!
My Rose of Sharon haven't even begun to bloom yet. I 'inherited' about eight bushes when we moved here. I love them and so do the resident deer so they suffer a little. :)
Rose of sharon is gorgeous..but does get unruly!
BTW Linda...I went to your other blog n got a message that you may have malware from another blog you visit! I guess you already have been notified! I will proceed with caution and wait a while before I visit!
Gorgeous flowers and images. Lovely photos, Linda.
Glad to see a Rose of Sharon. I've been trying to grow them, but keep moving, and have to plant a new one.
Planted one here last year. It is slowly arising from winter's sleep. Love the 'susan's, too!
Beautiful time of year, isn't it?!
bearing Sharon Rose as my name, i'm always interested in seeing variations of this whether as a quilt pattern or here as a flower~
Thx for posting Linda..
hoping you can save it :)
Delightful shots, Linda.
