Could This Be Rose of Sharon?
My friend sent a picture of this plant and asked what it is. I have no idea. Can you help identify this plant, please?

Marianne's Response
This looks like a Rose of Sharon shrub or hardy hibiscus. The blooms are an unusual lavender blue color perhaps the variety of hibiscus called, 'Blue Bird'. Sorry, it took so long to answer this but we have been reworking the entire site and lost some questions. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
