Although cicadas favour open pine forests, this one "landed" on the balcony of my apartment saving me a trip to the forest to find it! Did it come to me to be photographed? I wonder!

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.
