White Flower
by Miro Susta
White flower from Swiss Alps, particularly from Chesieres-Villars in Canton Vaud (high-1,300m a.s.l.) above Geneva Lake.
It looks like hibiscus but it is not a hibisscus. Can somebody identify it???

9 commentsMany thanks for your comments. I'm still trying to find out the proper identification of this flower.
As I said I've taken this photo in the Mountains at 1,300m (4,265ft) altitude, area with winter temperatures as low as -20C (-4F). According to my knowledge hibiscus is native to warm temperature regions and mostly grows in form of shrubs and small trees.
The flower on the photo belongs, IMO, to herbaceous plant.
For better illustration I've attached another photo of the same flower (in pink color) showing the stem as well. Das this belongs to hibiscus family? I'd grateful for your advise.

Another affirmative for Hibiscus.
Beautifully captured. Love the center composition and the water drops.
