* Mystery flower *

I went on another five-minute photo shoot today in the side yard. This flower is a neighbor of the one (Rose of Sharon?) that I photographed and wrote about on July 31.

Can anyone identify it for me?
I have no clue what it is. I know I could look it up, but that would ruin the fun.

Thank you in advance.

Alas, horticulture has never been my forte. That being said, it sure is a pretty flower, and a great picture.

Patti said...

Odat: yes, it is. I'm wondering if it's a weed.

Lynn: thanks for the compliment

Yes. It's a Rose of Sharon. My neighbor had several of these trees.

It looks like an old-fashioned morning glory. Honeysuckle variety.

I don't know what it's called ... but that doesn't take away from it's beauty.

It is what it is ... whether we put a label on it or not. :)

Patti said...

Mahala: they are everywhere

Karen J: welcome! thanks for the info

Mimi: could be...

Dan: this is true :-)

Linda: you sound like me

I thought it looked like Rose of Sharon too. Maybe it was Mabel of Huron.
