{Our Hibiscus syriacus 'Diana' - Rose-of-Sharon 'Diana'}

Here are photos from May 31, June 2, June 4 and June 10 that got misplaced and just a couple of days ago found again. So I like to share this beauty with you. Hibiscus syriacus 'Diana' - Rose-of-Sharon 'Diana' is a pure white, single hibiscus that is very strong. Before the hot weather it was putting on quite a show. We also have grown some young plants from cuttings in a pot for next year. The reason that those early June photos show beautiful flowers, is that it was not yet scorching hot weather! At the moment it is pleasant again, with even cooler mornings and evenings. Hibiscus are frequently being visited by the hummingbirds, to snack on the pollen. 
Great for our hummingbirds to snack on the pollen.
Took this photo in late afternoon on May 31.
This is close to the road on the border with our neighbors near our white vinly fence.
Photo taken on June 2.
These are still in a pot. Pieter took the above photo and the two below on June 4.
Each day another bud will open up...
The last photo is taken by husband Pieter on June 10.

    It must have put on a very pretty show at the time with all those buds. My moss roses continue to display for me every day. I am so glad our temps are cooling off a bit more day by day. Best wishes to you, Tammy

    these are lovely. i grew 2 last year in pots, brought them inside for the winter, hoping to keep them, but they brought bugs inside so i ended up pitching them. they are wonderful bloomers, though!

    Your pure white hibiscus is so pristine and beautiful.
    I don't think I have ever seen a white one before.
    You must have a gorgeous garden
