Une jolie fleur que j'aime bien mettre en suspension sur ma pergola habituellement, c'est assez facile à entretenir.... mais cette année faute de temps, c'est plutôt le désert dans mon entrée de maison !!!

I like the leaves there such a gritty contrast to the flower. Happy Canada Day, going to work half a day near the park where they will have the fireworks, I'm bringing the camera.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Am guessing this is a begonia of some kind. Their leaves are so interesting. This is a nice photo. Oh, and a very happy Canada Day to you. I'm glad we share a common border, and a semi-common language. ;-)

@Viewfinder: Hey Vf, how nicely put...I'm totally ignorant of flowers and stuff, my analysis is usually: ahhh, prettty! lol and I enjoyed the leaves too, and thank you kind sir, I'll be sure to visit your 'roof' on the 4th (and the 2 and 3, but why mention that lol)

White begonia.....it is true they are beautiful, but so very delicate! And it is this delicate touch that comes across through your image.
