I am the rose of Sharon, the Lily of the valley (The Bible (Song of Songs 2:1) Shot at noon in the shade at the Hunter Valley Gardens in Broke NSW. Such a delicate bloom standing up to such a hot humid muggy day. Sorry don't know the name, will get it next week when we go there again, Graham took out an dual annual membership as it's cheaper after visiting the Gardens three times this week barely making any headway there is so much lol! Have a nice day! ~Pat and Graham
