Abutilon theophrasti
an invasive species from Asia, thankfully, this was first one I have seen and the only one I saw around.
trail, forest edge
I spotted this along the bruce trail near Fireman's park. I was surprised to see this flower as I've hiked a lot around Niagara and never seen it before. I was also surprised to learn that it can be an invasive species in croplang.

I don't think I have seen this plant, but I will let you know when I find it :-)
I could see them being wonderful in a dried flower arrangement shekainah. Thanks Rieko. Have you seen these on your property?
Beautiful pictures. Congratulations for your fist spotting!
Considered a nuisance weed by local farmers, got lots of this in cultivated lands in our region. But I find the shapes of the flowers beautiful and when dyed they make good accent on dried flower arrangements.
