Day 309: For a foot-tall plant, the Rose-of-Sharon I planted this last spring is really putting on a show. A member of the Hibiscus family, its big, floppy flowers overwhelm the foliage and draw hummingbirds to sip their sweet nectar. I certainly wasn't expecting a display, and am surprised at the succession of blooms. Although they're relatively short-lived (only open for a day or two), one has been following another for more than a week now with many more to come. I should have done this a long time ago!
