Hot days like midsummer continue, but it is rose of sharon that is blooming well.

There are many rose of sharon trees in the planting space around Irifune Bridge, and during this season, white background red in the middle and dark pink flowers bloom.

The red on a white background is "Hinomaru" and the dark pink color is "Tottori Hanagasa".

Also, sometimes the pure white thing you see is "Daitokuji Temple White".

Indeed, it is a typical flowering tree that colors the midsummer, but it is native to China and is also known as the national flower of Korea.

It is said that it came to Japan before the Heian period, and has long been cultivated as garden trees and hedges.

It is the same genus as hibiscus, but it is said that it is popular not only in Japan but also in Europe and the United States because it is resistant to cold among the genus genus.
