It is a shrub that is well over six feet tall that has many branches that are long and bend over toward the ground. The leaves are simple almond shaped with somewhat jagged edges. The leaf has a vein down the middle with evenly spaced veins radiating fro the center. The veins are on both sides and are at the same level. It has many white flowers that are multipetaled,. There are several flowers on the stem and each one points downward, looking like a skirt or tent that flares out at the bottom. Typically there are at least 5 to 7 flowers on each stem. I am curious as to what the name of this shrub might be. I am trying to identify a flowering bush that is blooming in Bloomington, Indiana in late May.

Flowers are smallish, up to about an inch, flower color is red to orange at base with ruffled yellow edges, four large petals, several tiny ones, and a 'cup like' bottom petal (?), stamen (sp?) are very long compared to width of flower (about 1.25") It blooms year round (from memory so may not be most accurate), but there are more flowers in early spring and late autumn (avoiding the high heat in Las Vegas) It is not wild but at an apt complex (manager has no idea what it is) and ones there mostly seem about 3ft high and about as wide but very loose branches, no solid core. I've tried some online search engines both google and ones for plants and not had much luck, any help, even if only better defination of terms or something I missed that would help id plant/bush would help. Thanks! Rose Cat I am trying to indentify a plant/bush (forgot to look at trunk but pretty sure it was green branches off a central thrunk, not sure if it was woody or green)

I am not aware of likeness to a butterfly. The likeness is immediately to a lupin with successive bands of Blue and white layers of colour up the spike (as seen from a distance of 4 feet) It is very startling in its colouring pattern.
