Re: [OT] The Bush-bashing thread.
Ok, Rose of Sharon bushes (AKA Hibiscus) are really awful. They grow and spread like weeds. We had two in our backyard, thought they looked very nice when flowering...fast forward to a year, and they're all over the place, getting into everything. I admit, they're pretty flowers, but, man, give me Gabriels' Trumpets any day.
EDIT: ok, I can't find confirmation for 'Gabriel's trumpet' bushes. That's what we called them in DC, either that or 'Gideon's trumpets' - they've got a bunch of long, white, tulip like flowers with thin stems...nevermind. must be a colloquial name. But they're nice.
