Floral Friday

 I don't know the name of this flower which I saw in a garden. Can somebody tell me its name?
The damask rose has a wonderful scent. It is traditionally used to prepare itr or attar, a Persian perfume.
You can see many flowers and contribute your own flower pictures here.

  5. salutations, the plant that you're inquiring about is from south america, mostly peru, streptosolen jamesonii, common name is marmalade bush, it changes colour from yellow, to orange & then red, if you want one, contact san marcos growers out in california, usa, their website is: smgrowers.com. sincerely, joel
