This is called a Confederate Rose. I have no idea why, because it is not a rose (probably some type of hibiscus) and while it may be more acclimated to the southern climate, I don't know of any particular affiliation with the CSA. The thing I find most intriguing about the bush is the transformation the flowers go through in such a short period of time. On day 1 they open into a very nice looking white flower, with maybe just some slight tinges of pink.
Overnight they change completely into a pink flower, just as pretty, but very different looking.
Then, just as quickly, they are gone.

What a beautiful flower, in all stages. It reminds me of the Rose of Sharon bushes at my parents' farm house. Were all 3 of these shots from the same plant?
Same plant, just different blooms.
