Shot at the community garden at former Britannia Ship Yard, now called Imperial Landing. This is very tall, standing at 6 to 7 feet high, with very big flowers, 4 to 5 inches. Seen very often at other gardens, but always had no time to shoot. Shot this morning for lack of birds around.
Possibly Hollyhock...Alcea rosea. Comes in many colours. Alcea rosea single maroon - Google Search hollyhock - Google Search
That's it. It's difficult to shoot the whole plant in a frame, because it's so tall, yet so thin. Would be better if they were planted in row ! Thanks a lot.
