Nice!

I love it that roses bloom for such a long time. From Spring through the Fall, they have blossoms going. I should plant rose bushes in my yard.

Bad for the neighborhood, they hang out with a bunch of pricks.

A Little Help?

I need help identifying this wildflower. It was found ass up in a ditch out in the sticks. Ok, it wasn't literally ass up in a ditch, but it was growing in a ditch, literally.

It appears the initial petals fold downward to make a skirt for the flower. Orange. The specimen pictured is approximately 12-15 inches tall. The plant itself was about 3 feet tall. Practically no scent. Not that any in the Gravdigr household could smell, anyway.

I would call the flower waxy/fleshy.

ETA: It lasted (in water) for a pretty good while. 5 days, or thereabouts.

Anyone? Bueller?

Dunno what they are, but I planted them years ago and they keep coming back.

Looks to me like all the "Roses of Sharon" are hibiscuses.

Yes, but not all hibiscus are RoS. Kinda like squares and rectangles.
So we're *both* right!
