The next few days continue my fascination with the Rose of Sharon. This bud is growing on a bush in my back yard, along the fence line. I have not noticed this bush in previous years, which may partly explain my fascination with it.
It is a beautiful flower, as we will see in detail over the next few days. It's a name which figures prominently in the Biblical Song of Songs, and is the name of a character in Grapes of Wrath. Those associations also haunt me, in a manner of speaking.
