I had a Double Rose of Sharon for about 15 years, then within 2 years it died. Never could see or find a reason why. We now have Burning Bushes in the area where the ROS was, but boy do I miss that tall beautiful bush. We had it planted right in back of our Japanese Maple. So Boojum, do you think it looks like an 'Arden'? I picked it up very cheap at a box store and it didn't have a name.

I went through an Amaryllis phase for several years, had about 7 types. At first blooming in the house, then I got a little lazier and let them bloom outside in the spring/summer in pots, then finally gave away most of them. I still have Apple Blossom and Papilio butterfly. I also have 2 that I started from seed, but they haven't bloomed yet ... have to keep them till they bloom. lol

Can you believe I'm not a Beatles fan ... shocking, I know.
