I thought they could be Lavetera,  I have a blue one but I like this one, quite striking.  Thanks  Manic.

Lovely photos Carol. I love lavatera. I once grew a standard from a cutting from the bush variety, looked absolutely stunning when it flowered until a family of wasps decided to attach the main trunk and killed it :'(
