{Mauve Double Rose of Sharon Hibiscus Behind Our Pond}

This year we have extended our collection of Hibiscus by lots of little plants.
Not all of these young plants did bloom this summer but one Mauve Double Rose of Sharon Hibiscus behind our Pond put on quite a show.
At least, it is my guess of being this a mauve color... I am not an expert!
Don't you love this fully double version?
Just a perfect blossom!
How beautiful such a double Rose of Sharon Hibiscus can be; just for one day...

  1. Deareest Mariette,
    your Hibiscus is wonderful! I never had one in my garden, I guess, it would not be the right soil for him....
    Have a lovely rest of the week,
    Love and hugs and blessings,

  2. I love this beautiful 'Rose of Sharon' hibiscus, the colour and form are what I love!
    I've always wanted a pond so I could grow some of the water loving plants like blue irises!
    I wonder what do you grow on the edges of your pond Mariette?
    Hugs and love

  4. Hello dear Mariette,
    Oh yes, what a beauty this hibiscus flower is!
    Hibiscus is probably my favourite flowering bush :)
    To me it is synonymous of sunshine and tropical climates!
    Keep well and enjoy your day :)

    PS: many thanks for your kind and faithful comments... as you know, it is difficult for me to find time to blog!

  6. Dearest Mariette,
    What a beautiful flower, in one of my favorite colors. I have to grow them in pots and winter them inside. I'm going to be living in a jungle this year.

  12. Wat heb je toch een prachtige tuin Mariette. Zo'n enorme varieteit in planten! De hibiscus bloemen zijn mooi. Fijn dat het bij jullie nu ook iets koeler begint te worden. Dan wordt het ook wat aangenamer om buiten te zitten. Bij ons nog geen herfststormen, maar wel veel regen bij een temperatuur van rond de 16 graden. 'Ze zeggen' dat het nog gaat nazomeren. Wie weet....ik hoop van het weekend, wanneer ik vrij ben :-)

    Fijne week verder!

    Liefs, Madelief x

  18. Dearest Mariette,

    How pretty your hibiscus is and love the gorgeous colour and must be a joy having that bloom in your garden.
    Great that you had a trip away to New York, it must have been lovely.
    Many thanks for the kind visit and note you left me.
    Hope you are enjoying your week
    hugs
    Carolyn

  19. Liebe Mariette,
    eine sehr hübsche Blüte. Anders wie gewohnt. Wir haben auch eine kleine, sehr kleine Hibiskusstaude mit riesigen Blüten, aber leider kommt sie jewils erst gegen Ende Sommer. Ich möchte gern eine Winterharte Hibiskuspflanze in Blau. Die blüht dann auch schon früher.

    Grüessli
    Julia

  20. Dear Mariette
    Happy Autumn! Your hibiscus is just beautiful. I love the pretty color and the images. Pink is my favorite color.
    Have a happy day.

  21. Eine wundervolle Farbe, liebe Mariette! Hibiscus liebe ich auch sehr!
    Danke auch für Deinen Hinweis bezüglich der Startsite. Vorher fand ich sie bei Dir ganz oben links wo folgendes steht

    {Mariette's Back to Basics | My Boutique}

    Vielleicht durch die Änderung Deines Blog-Hintergrundes geändert? Normalerweise erscheint die Startseite mit Klick auf den Header, was bei Dir nicht geht. Nun schaue ich mal, ob ich sie jetzt finde. Ansonsten kann man auch einfach die url bis zum Schrägstrich einkürzen.

    Liebe Grüße und auch Dir und Deinem Mann ein schönes Wochenende
    Sara
