I have a nice size Rose of Sharon tree in my backyard and from the last week of July through the end of August my tree was covered in these beautiful flowers. Lovely!
The Rose of Sharon tree / shrub is part of the Hibiscus family, although it’s much more hardy than a tropical Hibiscus! Ours survives our Canadian (zone 5b) winters just fine! I’m glad it does because I love it’s gorgeous blooms!
Love it – are those blurred waterdrops on the botom? That might have been a good focal point.
Micro – yes those might be water droplets or they could be little puffs of pollen … I’m not sure.
You have posted stunning picture of flower that is appreciated. Keep it up the good work.
what a beautiful flower. I love it. If I can take it, I’ll take it and I will give to my beautiful girl.
By the way, How many Megapixel the Camera to take the picture? with Nixon or Canon?
regards
The camera that I used is a Canon SLR EOS 30D with I believe 8 megapixels. It’s a fantastic camera, I love it.
WOW!! In my opinion you can’t find two more fascinating & loved subjects than photography and flowers. They just go together don’t they? The “Rose of Sharon” Tree caught my interest to the point that I’m going to be searching for pictures that show the whole tree. The close-up of the bloom is beautiful. Do they have a scent?
