Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) |
Rose of Sharon Hypericum calycinum |
Today the two flowers above are also known as Rose of Sharon. For the Hibiscus syriacus several cultivars exist which go by the following names 'Diana' (pure white), 'Oiseau Bleu' (blue-violet with maroon centre), 'Hamabo' (pale pink with deep red centre), 'Red Heart' (white with deep red centre), 'Woodridge' (deep pink), 'Lavender Chiffon' (pale lilac)
I think it would be safe to say that the blue one is "Oiseau Bleu' and this one below is Lavender Chiffon.
