the unknown flower is now a known flower it is a sidalcea, my art, quilting and gardening friend came to lunch today and she said it looked like a pink flower she has, so she took a flowering stem with leaves home with her, shortly after she e mailed to say it is the same as her pink one and the name is sidalcea, I’ve never heard of this family but then I haven’t heard of lots of plants families,

I did a search and guess what dear ole auntie beeb has it in the ……but it’s the pink version, I then found this wonderful which shows them in pinks, white and reds, as you might guess most of the websites coming up are for nurseries selling the plant, I have not yet found my actual version of the plant, I did find an interesting website about that included sidalcea,
