Mallow - 芙蓉 -

Hi, I see this flower blooming now in Tokyo. White, shallow pink or violet flower on the top of tree. Do you guys see this around you??
in my dictionary there are some names on this.
Hibiscus mutabilis
Cotton rose
Confederate rose
Fuyou, Aoi,, in Japanese

In the beginning of the summer season, just afeter the blue hydransia had finished its blooming, I found huge white flower on the street down the corner of my house. The rainy season smell was still floating in the air. This is like jellyfish swirling over there. Back in home and chcking the web site, the white large is a "cotton rose ", "confederate rose" or fuyou in Japanese.

The summer's gone. I saw a white flower on the top of a streching stalk beside a pavement near the office. This is called mallow, or aoi (ah-oh-ee).

Mallow is smaller than cotton rose and looking for the sunlight like small kids wants candy streching out on the tiptoe. Cotton rose is floating closed on earth like a pale moon rising.

At the end of October, Los Angels has lots of red big roses there. It resemble to the cotton flower or hybiscas in Hawaii.

The cotton rose leaves are spiky on the edge, very large and thick, and deep green. It tells us they comes from the South. The mallow's leave are small and grow the quater degree in a clockwise.

This image above is named Flower Butterfly, remixing my Tokyo and Los Angels flower expierience of the summer. Pale white flower is wafting down up the sky.

Thanks everyone, and how are you Mallow? is that flower name in Poland?

[OckGal]

Looks so soft. I'm not sure if we have those around here. I'm horrible at knowing flower names. Most of our flowers are packing up to go South for the Winter, hehe!

I have a headache and this 5 minutes of relaxation was just what I needed!
