Is this the right photo Hmhb? a rose by any other name:-) I think there's a difference in what we call turks cap (lilium martagon) and your beautiful flower:-)

Nope, I bought this at Stephen F. Austin College Arboretum on their fund raiser day about 3 years ago. We also have the Turk's cap in red locally. Malvaviseus arboreus (I think).

sorry, I meant, "yes, it's the right photo."

Thank you Bornagain ( I like your name); I had the correct name "turk's cap," but the botanical name was wrong. I have edited it. This is going to be an educational experience in more ways than one, especially since I have to look it up. Mostly, all I know are the common names, and some of those are local nicknames... It should be fun to compare! Thanks again!

What else?
See who else is growing Malvaviscus arboreus var penduliflorus.
See who else has plants in genus Malvaviscus.
