Meet the rose of sharon
Rose of Sharon, known as Mukuge in Japan, blooms continuously from summer into autumn, with each individual flower lasting only a single day before the next one opens in its place. This 'one-day flower' quality has made it a symbol of impermanence in Japanese culture. Its wide, open petals make for a refreshing summer coloring subject.
