Dance Along The Light of Day 🇨🇦

Rose of Sharon

[Hibiscus syriacus]

 

Beautiful and delicate, this flower is on a shrub in my niece’s garden, in Toronto.

 

I have always loved this plant and, about three years ago, I had two sent to my house via the internet. Delivered to the wrong house, they sat for about two weeks in a byre (barn) about two miles from my house...When I eventually got them, they were very sick-looking wee plants. I put one in a pot in the yard and the other in the garden. They still look quite small but the one in the yard has flower buds! Maybe this year...

 

“But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

And head back to the Milky Way

...Did you sail across the sun

...Did you fall from a shooting star...?”
