Abutilon x hybridum (Abutilon hybridum) are cultigens, not occurring in the wild. Cultivars produced by hybridising some of the South American abutilons have all been placed in one group known as Abutilon x hybridum.
Abutilon x hybridum is a popular group of hybrids that are semi-tropical, frost-tender shrubs typically growing up to 2-3m (6-10 feet) tall in zones where can be left in the ground year-round. It is an evergreen shrubs with attractive maple-like leaves and an open, pendulous habit.
Description: Abutilon hybridum is the name given to a group of hybrids of mixed parentage.
The common name ‘Flowering Maple’ cames from the shape of its broad, five-lobed leaves, but it is not a true maple. It is more closely related to the Alcea species (hollyhock) and to the weed known as Abutilon theophrasti (velvet leaf).
There are many named varieties of Abutilon hybridum, which can grow up to 1.5m (5 feet) spread and can start to flower while very young. The pendent blooms are usually about 5cm (2 inch) long and bell shaped with prominent orange or yellow stamens and pale green calix (the papery, bract like growth that protects the unopened flower bud).
When given good light and proper care, Abutilon hybridum is producing papery blossoms on drooping stems nearly year-round. Flowers may be red, yellow, pink, orange or peach, depending on variety. Some varieties feature leaves mottled with yellow, but the strongest growers have solid green leaves.

Went out for a lovely walk this morning, nice and early when it wasn't too hot.
Loads of Hollyhocks along the roadside, but the garden I was after with a small Passion Flower plant in it has been cleared completely.
I shall have to go on one of my other walks to find some now. :0(
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

Hollyhock plants are thought to be originally native to East Asia, where they have roots in ancient Japanese culture. Over the years, they spread across Asia, making their way to the Middle East, where the English first encountered them during the Crusades.
The plants were used to make a salve that was very good for the Crusaders’ horses which were injured on their hind legs, or “hocks.” This is almost definitely where the name comes from – holly, as in holy (as in Holy Land) and hock, as in the part of the horse the plant was used to treat.
not a flower that is seen very often in local gardens and I can't grow it, I've tried so many times, I know there are some gardens over the border in Point Roberts that have it but the travel ban prevents me from visiting them, alas.
Probably artificially planted hodgepodge of lovely semi-wild flowers. Rural area just outside of St.Afra, Mering.
Quelle merveille! En sortent vers la forêt je vue à côté du caniveau cette fleur sylvestre. C'est très étrange qu'elle fleurisse avec cette chaleur 35°C aujourd'hui.

A widespread and common species in most of central and southern Europe. the Mallow Skipper (Carcharodus alceae) is often amongst the first butterflies on the wing in spring and common throughout the summer. Here, in Quiberon, I mostly see it at the end of summer. It was my first sighting this year and it chose a pretty setting :) /
La Grisette ou Hespérie de l'alcée (Carcharodus alceae) est une espèce de lépidoptères (papillons) de la famille des Hesperiidae et de la sous-famille des Pyrginae.
Carcharodus alceae est répandue dans le Sud et le centre de l'Europe, jusqu'au 50°N et dans l'Asie tempérée, dans le Sud de la Sibérie et le Nord de l'Inde.
Elle est présente dans toute la France métropolitaine, ainsi qu'en Belgique, où elle a le statut « non menacé ».
Ici, à Quiberon, c'est généralement en fin d'Eté que j'en vois et celle-ci est ma première cette année; j'étais contente qu'elle choisisse les fleurs d'Orpin d'Automne pour se faire admirer :)
There were not many flowers this year due to a very cold early summer.
Here are a few that survived the cold June.

Beautiful Hollyhock (also known as Alcea) flowering plants growing against a white wall on a street in Ghent, Belgium. Taken with the Canon 5D4 and the Canon 50mm 1.4 lens.

Typisch für die Stockrose (Alcea) ist ihr gerader, kerzenartiger Wuchs. Die Pflanze, die bis zu zwei Meter hoch wird, entwickelt erst im zweiten Jahr ihre großen Blüten und ist winterhart. Stockrosen sind in vielen verschiedenen Farbtönen erhältlich - von Weiß über Gelb, Rosa und Rot bis hin zu Violett und fast Schwarz. Sie blüht ausdauernd fast den ganzen Sommer - von Juli bis September. Eigentlich zählen Stockrosen zu den zweijährigen Pflanzen, viele Sorten überdauern aber mehrere Jahre, wenn die Blüten vor Bildung der Samen entfernt werden.
