I don't know what flower this is; found it growing in the compound of our hotel in Maoxian. The size of the flower attracted my attention, it was easily one-and-a-half times the size of my hand with fingers outstretched.
Between the two, i prefer the colour of this one...
My mother has similar flowers growing in her garden, perhaps it is the same family type?
