Moving into our new home, late June, to today, I've enjoyed this 'bush'.
.
Full of blooms in June, and every day afterward.
.
By late August curiosity was too strong, I walked over to inspect. It resides on my neighbor's property.
I knew what it was at 1st inspection, never seen in a book, in person, or heard it spoken of.
.
Sun lover, drought proof, insect/disease proof, deer proof. New flower buds still drip fat along the stems, enough to last until first frost.
.
BEAUTIFUL.
Before designing gardens full time, I was a professional grower for 2.5 years. Of course I know how to propagate this beauty.
.
Do you know it by sight, already?
.
Permission. I had to get permission to take cuttings. Will take enough to give to owner, neighbors, and friends.
.
Double flowering, white weeping Rose of Sharon. Hibiscus syriacus, Althea.

At the property line, above, is neighbor's view of their plant with our garden & home in the backdrop. Our homes, both over a century old, are each near the road, and close to the right side property line. This gave space for orchard & potager to the left of the house, and acreage at the back for barn, livestock, and pond.
