This is a hibiscus syriacus (Rose of Sharon) plant/tree/shrub . . . it only
blooms for a few short weeks at the end of summer or early fall w/ gorgeous
blooms which both hummingbirds and orioles favor.

Hi, this past spring I saw this plant growing right against the fence
between my neighbour's yard and mine. I was going to cut it down, but
I was curious as to what it is. It is just now starting to flower, and
the blooms sure are pretty. Can anyone ID this plant? Area is southern
Ontario Canada, Thank you very much in advance.

This plant is almost definitely a hibiscus, although I am not familiar
with Ontario. It is pretty widespread and can be grown in the UK in a
sheltered spot.
