Nice image in your own garden, Howard. Good subject for dark cloudy skies. The whites look good with very nice detail. I like it. :toast:

Nice closeup. Looks somewhat like Rose of Sharon. Classic comp, well controlled whites and plenty of DOF. :smile:

I agree with Phil that this looks like Rose of Sharon. We've got a collection of these with some showing the complicated innards like you've got here and some others that are much simpler. This is a fine look at the innards, with enough background to make the flower identifiable.
