RE: Amazing Outback: Surreal and artificial looking flower found in a dried out gorge
Okay Coupeborgward, I had a group of friends on the search for this mystery plant. Quite fun actually! A friend of a friend of a friend says its an Alyogyne sp, in the Malvaceae family. They are positive its in the Malvaceae family! what season was this taken?
which is a native Australian hibiscus, from my findings. Others think it might be Abelmoschus manihot. If you remember what the rest of the plant looks like, these findings may be of help!
It was in the middle of June when I took this picture. June / July
I found this photo which does look a bit similar
