Rose of Sharon is in bloom in NC in June. It can be a challenge to get
a good shot because the ants love to crawl in the center and between the petals. The left image is a double petal variety that was in my neighbor's yard. I used Camera+ macro, HDR mode. The backround contains blooms that have fallen on the ground. I used PSE increased the highlights and midtones, cloned out some disfigured petals, and sharpened. This might be one to try on a black background with window lighting. The image on the right is the single petal variety of which there are many cultivars. This one I also used the macro mode & HDR. Post imaging I used a vignette to make the blossom stand out more.
