Happy Homemakers
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. ~ William Morris
Creativity
The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity.~Albert Hsu
Cheerfully Frugal
Use it up,
wear it out,
make it do,
or do without.
~Depression-era Rhyme

Growing Things
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.~Proverbs 12:11
Nourishment and Wellness
Good broth will resurrect the dead.~South American proverb
Abundant Life
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." ~Jesus in John 10:10
Sweet Friends
Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!~Nehemiah 8:10

Can you give us a scale and if it is growing in shade or sun?
I am thinking that we are looking at a Cotton Rose, Confederate Rose, Rose cotton
Also known as a Rose of Sharon
flowering in Autumn climatic zone 9,10
mutabilis, meaning "to change" indicates the change in flower color from white when they emerge to deep red as they age. leaves wider than they are long about 7 inches. It needs protection from wind and frost and enjoys full sun and a well drained soil.
do a google on it and see if i'm right
Not a clue, but they sure are beautiful!
The google images for Confederate Rose don't look exactly like this flower, although I suppose there could be different varieties. Each flower bunch is about 2-3" and looks like a tiny rose bouquet. The leaves are very large, about 12" when mature.
The leaves look like a hydrangea (spelling???) but the flowers not so much? Not sure...but very nice!
