Field Notes

Description:

The flowers are produced in open, long-stalked cymes (a flower cluster in which the main axis and each branch end in a flower) at the top of the stems; the flower corolla (the separate or fused petals of a flower) is about 40 mm diameter, with five pink (rarely white) lobes with bluntly acute apices, and a contrasting bright yellow central 'eye'. The fruit is a capsule containing numerous small seeds.

Habitat:

Two small patches blooming at the edge of a city maintained retention pond.
