Sir,

I found this beautiful garden plant in front of a gateman's cabin at a railway level crossing in Hooghly district (West Bengak). This winter they produced some wonderful season flowers in a very small, rather tiny piece of land lying between the rails!

species : Althea rosea (family : Malvaceae)

Thank you & Regards,
