Good morning Yumiko-san. Beautiful white hibiscus ♪ I wonder why it’s normally called Sharon Plain Rose. My friend invited me to Israel and we enjoyed camel voyage through Negev desert. Also drove around Golan Heights, famous for wine, but continuing conflict with Lebanon & Syria. I hadn’t seen Hibiscus there, maybe not in blooming season. And thanks Yumiko-san for reminding me of my adventure of just before COVID19 (^-^) Have a great day with smile, & music !
Good mornevening, Yuming !🌅🌃😄 Oni-chang love the flower of your white Mukuge: ムクゲ(木槿).🌼🌿👰♀️👌 I also posted a photo of a purple rose of Sharon※(ムクゲ) on GS on August 28th of this year.💜🌿🤗😉
※Rose of Sharon is the common English🇬🇧 name for Hibiscus syriacus, known in Japan🇯🇵 as ムクゲ(木槿).🤔😊👌
※※ Rose of Sharon (in Hebrew: חֲבַצֶּלֶת הַשָּׁרוֹן) is a biblical expression, though the identity of the plant referred to is unclear and is disputed among biblical scholars. ⛪️🤨🤯 It has become a common name for several species of flowering plants that are valued in different parts of the world. In no case does it refer to actual roses.🌹 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️💦
