Pink Flowering Bush Photo

Posted on July 17th, 2010 in Plant Photography

I spotted this pink flowering bush at Gibraltar Point in Skegness. I’ve seen these pink flowers many times in the wild, but this is the first time I’ve seen one with a bulbous center

Do you happen to know the name of this pink flowering bush? I have searched everywhere to find it’s name. Hopefully you can help me.

  Hi Maureen,
  
  No I have no idea, I’ve had a look online but could find nothing
  
  What I can tell you is that I’ve seen it in the wild a few times and like I mentioned in the article this one was a Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve.
  
  The flower bloomed in June-August time and the flower was on a bush that was a least 8′ tall
  
  Sorry couldn’t help you more.

It might be Rose of Sharon. Hard to tell — but the flower and leaves do look like it. Hope it helps!

It’s a Lavatera, also known as Tree Mallow. They’re a traditional ‘cottage garden’ shrub, although less popular now than they used to be.
