Is it a mallow ? I have one full of bud about to flower in the same colour but mine has long staynens that stick out of the middle. It was here when I moved in but have always loved it when in bloom albeit the flowers soon drop. 😢

[Nackapan in reply to Jillymo]

It's some sort of clematis .A climber .

Flowers last but not very many yet.

It replaced a 'potato plant' didn't realise poisonous to cats.

They obviously avoid things but one managed to get polle on their coat.

Of course locked off.

Never seen a car look so 'green'

He wax sick and then okay.

Other 4 been fine out there .

Anyway went round as so much self seeds.

I knew about other plants poisonous to cats but not that one.

Live and learn.

Aw poor pussy 🙀

I am a cat lover albeit I dont have one now but have a little tabby that visits. I feed the visiting fox's well I say feed more medicate them if injured or have signs of mange. I have got one poor little soul on three legs at the moment. 🦊 One of the little girlie's gets quite close.

The mallow I were talking of is bush that was here when I moved in but it is really stunning when it is in bloom. When it blooms I will see if I can take a picture of it.

At present I am struggling with this heat i'm flat out on my back with the fan on. 🥵 I am that weak I am having trouble walking ! I know many worship the sun but I dread it..

[Nackapan in reply to Jillymo]

I very never tolerated it.

[Beginner2 in reply to Nackapan]

It is Clematis Jackmanii. I have one too.

Lovely - thanks, Nackapan. Some of the flowers are really enjoying the sun this year. Some real surprises for me- like the hollyhocks, which have never looked better.

[Nackapan in reply to Cherylclaire]

Yes hollyhocks csn be amazing. Out thd front we have oneas self seeded in a crack in the pavement .

Never seen it so big .

[Cherylclaire Forum Support in reply to Nackapan]

Tough as old boots. the ones growing through the stones on car park are faring much better than those in flower bed closer to house. I never bother to feed them now, or even water them much.

Gorgeous!

My mallow bush is in full bloom and thought I would share a pick of one of the flower's. I love the long stamens on the blooms.
