What flower is this? The stem is long and slender. The buds are shown in the picture. The piston is short.

Thank you, Hyunmee

Hyunmee,

It looks like something from the Malvaceae family, but I can’t be sure with only the flower photo. Can you send me a picture of the leaves and stalk?

Sincerely,

Jamie

Lucciano,

I’m sorry, but I’m unable to give you an identification based on that photo. Can you get a close-up of the petals and leaves?

Thanks,

Ed

Kiara,

Can you tell me a little more about where this plant is located and what time of year the picture was taken? It is hard to tell from the picture, is it a vine?
