Flower Photo: Rose of Sharon Tree Blossoms

Rose of Sharon Tree Photo By Aquariann

Whoever originally landscaped my yard may not have chosen well with the dune grass (we eventually tore it out because of stray cats making it their home), but the Rose of Sharon tree they picked was perfect! I haven't tired of taking photographs of its pale purple blossoms yet.

How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday:
The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week! The post doesn't even have to mention flowers, but only ones that do will be eligible for being picked as a feature next week. I will be sharing my flower image on other blog hops, namely Wordless Wednesday, and welcome all family-friendly links from fellow bloggers. Crafters can even link up an Etsy listing or other shop product! But if you want to promote a prize, I suggest adding it to my Giveaway Chest Linky instead to entice more treasure hunters.

Please follow my blog through any of the social media icons in the upper right sidebar to receive a reminder to return next week. Adding my button or a text link to your own blog and sharing to your followers is also a fairy appreciated way to help my hop grow.

Flower Friday


Other flower hops where I've planted my post this week include Floral Friday Fotos, I Heart Macro, Saturday Show Off and Today's Flower.

    What lovely blooms! I am always thankful to those that came before me. We had a garden that just needed a bit of care and weeding from the previous owner and it was such a delight to watch it come to life!

    Making a mental note. I'm working on the garden this week and may need to buy some new plants. Will keep the Rose of Sharon in mind. It's so pretty!

    That's a lovely Rose of Sharon. Mine had white and red. But they took over the bed so I've been removing them for years now! ;) Glad yours found a good place to grow!

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires.

Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.
