  • Can anyone ID this flower for me?



    It's a flowering bush (photographed in early June). The flower is about 5-6cm across.

    Reminds me of a Hibiscus but as it seems to thrive outdoors here in England, I somehow doubt it is one!

    You're right Ian - that's an hibiscus. There are many varieties around, and some are quite hardy.

      Ah - maybe not a hibiscus as I have just been pointed in this direction:

      A Cistus, or Orchid Rockrose.

        Definately a Cistus.
        I had a white, and the pink displayed here, for many years
