[Leica] [OM] IMG: Today's Catch now Rose of Sharon

[Tina Manley]

I have both hibiscus and Rose of Sharon.  The flowers look similar but the
plants are very different.  The Rose of Sharon is a bush about 10 feet
tall.  The hibiscus is a much smaller plant with much larger flowers.
That's just in South Carolina, though.  I'm sure they are related.  And in
South Carolina, Sharon is always pronounced with a long a - Shayron.  I
think it's from the Bible.
