Greetings from Colorado. Your Rose of Sharon is the same color as the one we had. It had so much winter die off this year that I had to remove it and am planning on getting another when I see one. ♥♫

That is so pretty...the pinks against the greens. And, the drops of water are so refreshing both for the flower and the viewer. So eloquent, Carletta!
