I took photos of these flowers, found growing on the FOB where I served in Afghanistan in 2018-2019. I have no idea what they are and haven't been very successful locating information elsewhere online. Any assistance is appreciated.

Wow, pretty close estimate plantladylin! I see a lot of similarities between my mystery plants and the hollyhock, after reviewing some of the photos in the plant data base. I think you may be right. I need to research to see if they grow in Afghanistan.
