I got this plant from a friend but I don't know its name. If possible,
please also tell me whether it can survive outdoor in winter (I live in
Ohio). Thanks.

First off, this is a text only newsgroup, please post your pictures
over in alt.binaries.pictures.gardens.

It's some kind of hibiscus, and no, it won't survive the winter
outdoors in Ohio.

I can't see the picture in question but there are hardy hibiscus that I grow
here in Northern Ohio, zone 5. There is a picture of a pink hardy hibiscus
on this page.

Of Sharon flower only hardy hibiscus are dinner plate size.
