Short, bur beautiful

Back in the land of the living after a particularly nasty cold. These flowers were photographed over a 24 hour period from left to right, top to bottom, at 8:00am, 10:30, 12:30pm, 3:30 and 6:00pm followed by 8:30 the following morning.
The bush, I have no idea wha t it is called, is covered with flowers from the end of October until the beginning of may. They are truly beautiful during their single day of life, but rot away to a nasty black "squidge" on the ground. Maybe it was a mistake to plant beside a narrow path!
