I've no idea what these flowers are, they were in a municipal flower bed in the Loire town of Azay le Rideau but I thought that they were so spectacular that I couldn't resist posting them today.

@janiskay Thanks for this Jan - what I also liked about these is that there are buds, fully open blooms and those lovely global seed heads, all at the same time.
