#Hybiscus syriacus

[i-identify-plants-in-pictures]

@otherpeoplescreativity From my understanding, it is potentially possible that another colored flower has appeared on the same plant or even same branch. For this to happen, your Double Pink Rose of Sharon would have to be a hybrid, perhaps even F1 hybrid (meaning coming from the first generation after crossing two plants), rather than a true, stable cultivar of Hibiscus syriacus (meaning it would reliably produce true to seed offspring, although double flowers are usually sterile because some or all of their reproductive organs have been converted to petals). Sometimes more unstable hybrids can express traits that are more typical of one of the plants crossed to create them. However, I recommend taking this explanation with a grain of salt, this question is getting well into the realm of plant genetics, which I am interested in but certainly no expert on. I've added a few tags in hopes that someone more knowledgeable can either confirm or correct what I've said.

3&6

So, you didn't tell me which OC this ask is for, but I'm pretty sure I know who you are and I did a quick dive into your blog to check on your interests. So, you're getting my A-Team OC Kit Kelley (show version because I don't know your opinion on the movie - her entire existence would drive Dirk, Dwight and George INSANE if she were canon), my M*A*S*H OC Iris Winchester and my Ghostbusters OC Charlie Drake.

Placing a cut because more people means a longer post...

3. What is your OC's alcohol tolerance? How do they act when drunk?

Kit is such a wild card. Her alcohol tolerance is probably pretty decent, not extremely good and not extremely bad. As to how she acts when drunk, it's honestly dependant on the day and the situation. She's definitely the type to start a bar brawl if provoked but chances are just as high that she'll get clingy and needy and affectionate.

Iris has a great tolerance - which you have to have if you're drinking with the likes of Hawkeye. She's such a flirt when drunk, you have no idea. Has that ever lead to anything? Well, what happens in MASH 4077 stays in MASH 4077. (It has. But never with people she wouldn't flirt with while sober.)

Charlie can't get drunk. That's a human condition. At least that's what he claims, but the truth is that his tolerance is just extremely high. He would need to down an entire bottle of vodka by himself before he even feels slightly tipsy, which has never happened and is probably never gonna happen. Sometimes, he wishes he could get drunk because it seems pretty fun to him.

6. What's their favourite flower/plant?

Oooh, one of the tough questions!

For Kit, I'm gonna say either Basil or Marigold. Marigold because it has a fun shape, it symbolises protection and it sort of reminds me of the sun? Basil because... well... Basil! For some reason, I associate her with basil. I dunno, the smell just suits her, as does the texture and the taste. I feel like she'd enjoy it.

For Iris, it's definitely a flower native to Korea. I'd say the Hybiscus Syriacus/Rose of Sharon. It's very beautiful and would be a small source of joy for her to look at during the harder days at the hospital.

Charlie is especially tough. I'm just gonna say it's some sort of fungus because of Egon, even though Egon would tell him time and time again that fungi are not plants. But if we’re only counting real plants, I'd opt for Casablanca lilies. They bloom at night when Charlie is up by himself, their white blossoms glow in the moonlight and they symbolise celebration, like Charlie celebrating life!
