confederate rose in bloom


Another week in the city working on the mountain wall which leaves me little time to compose and post (or read and comment) especially since my remaining time is being spent trying to get this dozen or so small pieces cast for the open house coming up the end of November/first of December.

So.

I've posted a few pictures of the confederate rose that has been in full bloom the last couple of weeks. I've been taking so many pictures of it because it has been exceptionally beautiful this year. Amazing what a little rain will do.

I leave you with these.

  1. Gorgeous! I've seen some tree/shrubs up here that kind of look like this. Probably not the same thing though.

  2. Mine is still blooming too! But it doesn't get enough sun and is not nearly as dramatic and bountiful as yours. Still, it is a glory.

  6. What a beauty! The plant doesn't look like a rose bush at all.

  7. I have a Hibiscus that's very similar to this plant. The leaves and pods look exactly the same but my plant's flower looks like a hibiscus.

    I hope your work makes you happy and never mind about blogging. There are loads of us who are finding that blogging is getting in the way of, well, other things.

  11. Beautiful! Is a confederate rose the same as a rose-of-sharon? It looks kind of similar, or at least related.
