Alcea rosea

801_5567 [Alcea rosea]
 
A biennial plant growing in a range of soils in the wild,
or in gardens where it is deliberately planted
for its impressive, wide flowers (about 15cm).
 
The plant can reach a height of 2.5m
and produce flowers in dark red, pink, white, yellow or orange.
 
The picture was taken on the Greek island of Evoia.

Alcea rosea

8015575 [Alcea rosea]

A white flower called … “rosea” [=pink]! It looks and sounds misleading but actually it isn’t. Its petals are usually pink but sometimes we see color variations of purple, violet, yellow, or … white as is the case in this photo.
