Botanical name: Hibiscus syriacus
Hibiscus syriacus is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is native to areas of east Asia, but widely introduced elsewhere, including much of Europe and North America. It was given the epithet syriacus because it had been collected from gardens in Syria.
Common names include the rose of Sharon, (especially in North America), Syrian ketmia, shrub althea (or simply althea), and rose mallow (in the United Kingdom). It is the national flower of South Korea and is mentioned in the South Korean national anthem.

Hibiscus. The 3 stages of life.
Ants love Hibiscus syriacus! I think many bugs appear after heavy rain.
蟻に好かれる木槿。大雨の後はたくさん虫が現れるような気がします。
First of the year for us. They only last 1 to 1-½ days. And you've got to find them before the Japanese beetles do. And the deer love to eat them, as well.
