Alcea acaulis (stemless hollyhock).

The hollyhocks comprise about 60 species of flowering plants in the genus Alcea (Ál-ce-a) in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to southwest and central Asia. They are biennial or short-lived perennial plants growing to 3.5 m tall, with broad, rounded, palmately lobed leaves and numerous flowers, pink or yellow in the wild species, on the erect central stem.

nice portrait of this lovely species, TFS Ori

Bonjour Umar,
Belle composition avec une bonne opposition de couleurs entre le sujet et son environnement sous un bon éclairage ; remarquable mise en valeur par la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
