Hibiscus syriacus or Althaea syriacus, better known as Rose of Sharon or Common Hibiscus, is potentially toxic to animals, but its leaves, flowers and bark are edible to humans and have medicinal properties. It is a part of the hibiscus or mallow family. This shrub / tree is also known as the “Hardy Hibiscus” as it can survive challenging conditions.

Gorgeous. We have many Rose of Sharon trees in our Woodlake Rose Garden. I haven’t taken the time to learn much about them. You’ve inspired me. Thanks. I love the drawing in the header, or is that a photo filter. It’s beautiful. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my site, BTW.

    What a great shot. So do you put a new heading on every post, or is that your selected feature?

    I’ll check it out. I’ve had the same theme for so many years, it might be time for a change. 🙂

Lol! I use the hibiscus flowers for tea so I wondered if Sharon also had medicinal benefits. I’m glad it does. Thank YOU for Sharon the photo with me so I could share it today… really beautiful shot!!

Very beautiful. Maybe you used an airbrush style filter here. It looks stylish and pastel in shades. Cheers!

when we moved into our house 34 years ago, we had these flowers, and for the longest time I thought they were “Rows of Sharon”. That will give you a sense of my knowledge of flowers! Beautiful photos…

In response to the last line “This shrub/tree is also known as the “Hardy Hibiscus” as it can survive challenging conditions.” – can I just say my hibiscus did not survive the squirrels :-))))
