Please could someone ID this plant, seen at a National Trust Garden yesterday? I've added photos of the flower, the leaf and the whole shrub, which must have been about 6' tall. Thanks.

Well id'd Uma. Parents have this in their back garden and I always forget its name!

Thanks, Uma - spot on! Fancy it being a weed - one I wouldn't pull up!
Thank you too, Sbg. It is a member of the same family. Lovely, isn't it. :-)))
Haha, Fractal - pipped to the post this time. ;-)

Hi, Spritzhenry
So great to visit GOY again! :)
I saw this plant during my holiday trip to the Crimea. It's a weed here, but rather pretty and many people have it in their gardens as a decorative plant. It's Althea cannabina.
