You may remember that some years ago I had 2 Abutilon, one yellow and
one red, the red one was Westfield Bronze, could it be that, they
certainly look similar.

Westfield Bronze has variegated leaves and red flowers, well the one
David Hill gave me has! We have an unknown red (came back from Madeira)
which looks a lot like this but there are rather a lot of abutilon
cultivars
Thanks to you and to Judith - and yes, Westfield Bronze does have variegated
leaves, so ours isn't that one. We'll keep hoping. Ray has a notion it
*could* be A. Nabob but memory does not serve him in this instance!
Nabob has very deep red flowers and large leaves (noticibly bigger than
most others we have)
