Abelmoschus manihot --- Bingo. I'd say you nailed it. Plant matches
the images on several web pages exactly. Thanks for the info.

On 80 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.

The OP could browse

but I'm also leaning towards Abelmoschus manihot.
But Hibiscus cannabinus and Abelmoschus manihot are not the same plant;
as Hibiscuses go they're pretty distantly related.
