The rose mallow is a large plant with big, showy, crimson flowers....I find it often on the trails I hike from June to September...particularly in swamps and freshwater and brackish marshes. It is sometimes cultivated and used in many yards in Florida. It is certainly one of the loveliest of our native flowers!
very nice photo!!!
