Flowers: Hibiscus Syriacus, now 2012-06-07 - Narrow Lane of Fortune Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Hibiscus: are in bloom on East Fortune Street. Before the Enlightenment came, in this article by Billy Joe Fudge, Kentucky Color: Rose of Sharon, indeed many innocent, unknowing persons were, unwittingly perpetrating a fraud by calling this flower "Rose of Sharon." It is apparently okay to refer to it by its common name, the Outhouse Flower, but only the genuine article, the old fashioned Rose of Sharon shown in an accompanying photo at the link above, should be called Rose of Sharon. This thing above, pretty as it is, should be called: Hibiscus Syriacus which is the national flower of Korea. Mr. Fudge wants the authentic old fashioned Rose of Sharon to be the National Flower of Adair County, KY. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
