Flowers

Karey was right that many of the flowers here are the same as ones you can find in Iowa. There are two, however, I've never seen before. The one above intrigues me. It's slowing losing it's color but at its peak the full flower was red. I can only describe it as a flower with a cardboard backing.
Here's another I've not seen in Iowa. It's also quite pretty, but no idea if we could grow it in the cold climate of Iowa even if we wanted to.
