Great river Abitulon @ Mercurart

We took this photo in the Mercurart garden,
A bushy plant of the Malvaceae family, originate from Brazil. Abutilon mégapotamicum, the name of the species ( Méga – Great Potamicum – River), refers to the Amazon River.

The “great river” Abitulon can grow until 2 meters tall and spread as wide.

This plant is also known as "The Chinese Lantern Plant", we understand why, by seeing the flowers…
