Dr. Dirt, I saw this flower and wondered if you could tell me what it is.
Answer: It is a Rose of Sharon (Althea). This one seems to be a dwarf variety from the picture, or it may be a young plant. They are very hardy, usually no bug problems, and on the low-end of water needs. When fully mature is can be about 15-20 feet tall and 6-12 feet wide. That does depend on the variety. It is a great shrub for our landscapes in Lea County.
