aka Rose of Sharon. Unfortunately my camera can't quite handle the textures in a full view, but you'll get the idea.
Very nice - mine aren't close to blossoming yet. I have several that we started from very small seedlings - the ones that you get for a dollar each from the soil conservation office.
My Althea is in full bloom it is a lilac color .Double blooms also.Yours is a very pretty color .I have a white with wine center single that I am trying to root also a pink one it is double too.
One of my favorite flowering shrubs, it is also one of the names attributed to Jesus, Rose of Sharon.
