Rose of Sharon

My 'Rose of Sharon' double variegated hibiscus.

'Hibiscus syriacus'

 

In the garden at Castle Hill.

North-western Sydney.

 

'Hibiscus syriacus' belongs to the mallow family of plants (Malvaceae) and is native to south-central and southeast China, but widely introduced elsewhere, including much of Asia. It was given the name 'syriacus' because it had been originally collected from gardens in Syria
