I too thought about Datura at first... but you say it is not... And no Hibiscus either...
The flower is absolutely beautiful! I have a feeling I have seen it before, but no name comes to me. Just a quick guess: could it be a variety of Althea?
This is of the same order too - but no Hilde, it is not a Portia tree - but yes, the flower of it also looks a bit similar... And the Portia tree is of many uses - but since now, as far as I know, it did not bring pleasure to me personally...
definetly a flower :-) but .. which one ? A rose ?
ReplyDeleteSorry Sandra - no rose... :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm stumped, but I know this flower...I just have to think some more...and I'm really working at it :-)
ReplyDeleteI have two hibiscus, and this looks like one, but I'm missing the huge stamen. Is it a hibiscus?
ReplyDeleteNo dear Dawn, no hibiscus... But you are very good...
ReplyDeleteI believe you have seen this flower... :-)
Liebe Yael,
ReplyDeleteich hätte auch auf einen Hibiskus getippt. Aber Du hast ja schon geschrieben, dass es keiner ist. Ist es denn etwas, dass es auch bei uns gibt?
Liebe Grüße
Jutta
Das habe ich auch gedacht--vielleicht gibts es hier in Deutschland?
ReplyDeleteOder Florida???
In Deutschland gibt es diese Blume nicht - in Florida ja...
ReplyDeleteAber ich glaube schon, dass Du diese Blume schon mal gesehen hast Jutta - diese Blume ist Dir nahe...
ReplyDeleteIst es ein Stechapfel?? Wie heißt noch der botanische Name?
ReplyDeleteAh, Datura heißt er!
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry Gaby, no Datura either... Nothing in common with Datura - not family, not genus, not order, not tribe...

You are making us very very curious here :-D
No, no, no Althea, no not the marshmallow plant...
ReplyDeleteBut Althea and Hibiscus and this flower are of the same order... :-)
Come on ladies, you SHOULD know this flower - it brings you sooooo much pleasure in life! :-)
...Portia tree (Thespesia)??...
ReplyDeleteThis is of the same order too - but no Hilde, it is not a Portia tree - but yes, the flower of it also looks a bit similar... And the Portia tree is of many uses - but since now, as far as I know, it did not bring pleasure to me personally...
