A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 unknown name (passion??) I don't ink so

plant with large leaves, a little bit of purple around the edges. Big spike in middle with a lot of pink blooms in it.will send a pic as soon as I figure how to do that. I think HTML should be enabled?

a canna maybe?

No, its not a bulb. It's stems are hairy. The bloom is in the center of the plant, but the round bloom has hundreds of little pink petals. They last about 4 or 5 days and the pink petals fall off.

If you go to one of these sites, *and there is other's too, just can't remember the names*....

WebShots
PhotoBucket
Imagestation

It's FREE to download your pictures too....
Then you can attach the URL from the place you choose, copy and paste the URL, then click on the IMAGE botton, and insert the URL into there.
*there will be a highlighted blue http:/ thing there, either delete it or click your backspace button to get rid of it

I hope this helps..
I personally like PHOTOBUCKET, easy to use,
and easy to load picture's.....and we all don't have to be a member to view them here...

P/S There's some other gardener's that do use pictures alot and maybe able to help you alot better than I did, Afgreyparrot/Cindy, Loz, Meg, Jiffy, G~mom, plants~n~Pots, Carly, Mary....
tons of them know how and can give you a hand if you need it....

I use Image Shack - haven't had a problem with them yet.

hope yal could see the pic ok. That was after the bloom had died off. It's about 5 ft. tall now.

Looks to me like Malva or Hollyhock?

I am with Mary it looks like a Hollyhock.

Nope It does'nt look anything like that. It only has 1 large bloom in the middle top of the plant. It lsats about a week. The flowers are inside of a big round clump.

Hey, what color was the flower????????

And can you get a closer picture of the leaf and possibly seed pod??

Donna

the flower is a passion flower. beautiful flower that has some religious details involved. BUT, the only thing is the flowers only last one day. But with good care you will have new blooms everyday.

That's what my mother-in-law said it was. But I'm still not sure. It does'nt look like the one I saw a picture of. Gonna go out to find a pic.

Nope, Nope Thats not what it is. The flower(s) is pink, much larger leaf, some slight purple around the edges, hairy stems grows to about 5 ft, comes up everywhere from root of other plants ( cause its hard to dig up). It's not just 1 flower, it's a cluster of a whole bunch of tiny ones. The flower is in the pic but it had died, but I will try to get a better pic. I just have a small inexpencive camera.

My next thought after seeing the up close leaf is clerodendrum bungei.

YES YES YES> That is it. The pics on webshots after I searched. Exactly. Hope I did'nt sound too ignorant. Thank you so much for your input and solving my mystery.

Alright Donna!!!
Another good find!!!!!!!

WooooHooooo! Yes we finally got it.
