Rose of Sharon
This is probably my last picture of my flowers for the year, since it has been an extremely hot and dry summer here in southern Ontario. My Roses are gone, so are the Lilacs and the last to hold on where my "Rose of Sharon".
Rose of Sharon is a flowering shrub native to much of Asia. It is vase-shaped, reaching 2-4 m(6-12 feet)in height. It is also known as "Rose of Althea" and is widely planted in areas with hot summers for its very attractive white, pink, red, lavender, or purple edible flowers. It is very strong. If cut and put in a vase, it will survive for much longer than other plants.
The national flower of South Korea, the flower appears in national emblems, and Korea is compared poetically to the flower in the South Korean national anthem. The flower's name in Korean means immortality.
As well, the Rose of Sharon is a flower of uncertain identity mentioned in English language translations of the Bible. The name first appears in 1611, when it was used in the King James Version of the Bible. According to an annotation at Song of Solomon 2.1 by the translation committee of the New Revised Standard Version, this is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word for "crocus". Different scholars have suggested that the biblical "Rose of Sharon" is a type of Crocus.
