Lavatera trimestris ( herb tree mallow )

Lavatera trimestris
Wrote on September 13 2005
The lovely flowers which look like smallish hollyhock pleased my eyes throughout the summer.
There seem to be some different kinds of this flower, but I don't know which my lavatera is. It grew tall having flowers on the top of the branch. The flower blooms only a day. After I cut the faded flower, it had new branches and had flowers soon.
Its blooming time is ending, and I worry if it can pass the winter.
