Comparing this year's #inaturalist city nature challenge with that of 2017. Incredible increases in participation and observations. This is only the second and a half day of observations of the challenge and already there are 14,100 observations whereas in 2017 at the end they were less than 4,000.

Not a wildflower at all but very striking. A japanese camellia. I thought it was a rose bush. Jenny's Garden. Last weekend. inaturalist.org/observations/2

A poufy red flower that looks like a rose on a bush with shiny green leaves. A very closeup view.
