Can someone please identify this delicacy?

As title
I am an experienced photographer with limited plant knowledge and came across this lovely delicate specimen in Lacock Abbey gardens in England which I caught on film using my medium format Mamiya RZ 67. Can someone identify it for me please?
Thank you in advance

I believe it is Alcea rosea, Hollyhock. Yes, a delicate beauty!

 

Lavatera X clementii 'Barnsley'.

 

Hi

Thanks I must say I wondered whether it was a lavateria as I had one in a garden many years ago but the flowers on this are much bigger than I had on mine. Are Alcea and lavateria related?

If it helps decide which is the correct identity the flower I photographed was at least 4 inches across and the stem was very sturdy. This was the only blossom on the stem at the time I took the photograph.

Is there any further information I could give to help decide which definition is appropriate?

Thanks

David

 

Yes, both are in the family Malvaceae, and closely related within the family too.

PS Spellcheck for info searches: Lavatera (no 'i' ;-)

 

Thanks


Can anyone help reach a conclusive determination of the correct definition is it -- Lavatera X Clementi or Alcea Rosea??

Thanks afain
