ムクゲ　Rose of Sharon

ご存知のように韓国の国花です。我が家には3種類の色のムクゲがこの時期には咲き始め、夏の間ずっと楽しませてくれます。ここ数年は何故か寂しそうに見えます。
As known, it is the national flower of Korea. We have three colors of them in and out of our garden, all of which begin to bloom at this time through the summer. They look lonesome for some reason these years.
