Don,
What a pretty shrub/tree. And the color of the flowers matches the paint on
your porch pillars exactly. (at least on my monitor it does :))

You can take advantage of these straight stems if the plant is young enough
(works best if from seed) to work up Rose of Sharon (Hybiscus syriacus) as a
single stem into a nice, small tree. Here is the one in my front yard:

The bloodline (or maybe I should say "sapline") of this tree is interesting.
The original seeds were given to me over 40 years ago by an elderly
Czechoslovakian woman who had worked in her younger days as a tightrope
walker in the circus. It is easy to work up as a tree if you start with
seedlings and can bloom as early as 3 years from seed.
