Rose Trémière

In English it is called hollyhock but it's Latin name is Althea rosea. They grow profusely in the roadsides and gardens around our hamlet, - although they are not native to Europe, they were introduced from China in the 15th century.

Mike, is this flower already blooming in your garden?
BTW, if I'm not wrong it's the national flower of Korea.

Gianni, No! They are summer flowers, I took this pic a couple of years ago, in July. I did not know that it was the Korean national flower !

Ciao, Mike
