I don't know what kind of flower this is but it was a treat to see it in late September. The bloom itself was healthy but if you look at the leaves they are quite bedraggled. It seems to have been a good year for slugs and snails who are probably the culprits.
It is a pretty sight.
ReplyDeleteIt almost looks hibiscus-like but I don't think it is. Pretty colours - those bright lines attract insects to the centre. We've a plague of ladybirds (ladybugs?) here, I notice. They're all over the place.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of a flower called "rose of Sharon" that I used to see back in Illinois. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI also thought it might be hibiscus though I’m not sure. It sure is a beautiful flower.
ReplyDeletevery pretty indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes it looks like a hibiscus to me too. They are very showy.
ReplyDeleteI think we are in an extended growing season.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful Pat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - and obviously pretty strong!
ReplyDeleteLooks like nature does everything one month later.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful bloom, it is a shame the leaves are being eaten.
Have a happy weekend!
