The two pictures below are different shrubs. The top one is more double and pinker than the one below, and the one below has a dark pink eye. And below those two pictures is my double pink althea. I also have two varieties of single white altheas as well as a double purple, a single lavender with a pink throat (Minerva), a single blue, and a double pink. My single blue has not bloomed this year. It has been a stingy bloomer in general. I moved it last winter, so maybe it hasn't forgiven me yet. The double purple has been beset by grasshoppers, so the blooms keep getting eaten. Once it gets taller I expect that to become less of a problem simply because there will be some for me and some for the grasshopper.
