COF clarifies Issue du Jour: Rose of Sharon v Rose of Sharon

Erudite Kniflonian puts it concisely: It just a matter of prosody

by the COF

While it may seem that Billy Joe has indeed stumbled up a nefarious and insideous plot which appears to be perpetrated by horticulturists "from off", it may just be an unfortunate side effect of "The Great Wooded Lexicon" oncet agin leading to confusion (albeit this time in reverse).With that said, here's another theory:
Whilst one of the flowers depicted is indeed the beloved Rose of Sharon, it appears tother is in reality a Rose of Sharon but pronounced as "Rose of Share-Own" as in Ariel Sharon the former Prime Minister of Israel. It's a matter of where one exaggerates the syllabic consonants or phonologically speakin' it all biles down to a matter of prosody.
Obviously two different species from two different worlds jest as those from near and those from off. We may look sorta alike but it sometimes takes a passel of work and time to unfold the sameness. In the meanwhile with jest a little effort we start to see the beauty in both.
