No, it isn't.
A member of the malvaceae family but it's Alyogyne huegelii.

Thank you Carlos.

I have this plant. It's indeed Alyogyne huegelii. It has very pretty flowers. And the flowers look transparant in the sun.

These are Rose of Sharon.

No the seeds are never true. You can get white, blue and pink flowers from the seed. So you will have al the colors!

I have a double but got to comtrol mu pruneing so we can see te color, sometimes I get carried away with the shears. I love pruning.
If I remember right, they were about the same color as the ones in the picture. They didn't bloom this year, is that how they get the blue blooms
keep planting seeds to see what they come up with?

Keep checking your seedlings you may come up with something different.
I have this one I call splash.
