Default What kind of flower might this be?

It looks a little like a Hollyhock, about four feet tall, just started
putting out these big yellow blossoms. The leaves look unlike any
hollyhocks I've grown previously.
Any idea what it might be?
Thanks

Here's a site for us to distinguish 'Hibiscus cannabinus' aka Kenaf
and Okra:

Even though this is written in japanese, you can see the difference by
viewing pics and their names 'Abelmoschus manihot' ('Hibiscus
cannabinus' ) ,
'Abelmoschus esculentus' (Okra).

i hope this helps.
