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 Photo he http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...g?t=1280613972 |

A hardy hibiscus? Oh, that would be great. Haven't had those. I
guess we'll find out if it comes back next spring in NC Zone 7. On Jul 31, 6:23*pm, Fran wrote: Looks like a hardy hibiscus to me.

Here is another photo of the mystery flower, shows the foliage a little better. Very distinctive leaves: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...g?t=1280620817 On Jul 31, 6:23*pm, Fran wrote: Looks like a hardy hibiscus to me.

Any idea what it might be? Thanks It's a much flashier blossom than any Okra I've seen. But I will give it time and see if any pods show up. I am guessing they'll be seed pods, rather than edible Okra pods.

Thanks Photo hehttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...flower..jpg?t=... Here's a site for us to distinguish 'Hibiscus cannabinus' aka Kenaf and Okra: http://wapichan.sakura.ne.jp/plants-...oro-okura.html 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.

I have some ornamental hardy hibiscus in my yard (western NC) and they
come back every year. On Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:48:11 -0700 (PDT), ncstockguy wrote: A hardy hibiscus? Oh, that would be great. Haven't had those.

Ono The OP could browse http://www.malvaceae.info/Genera/Hibiscus/gallery.html 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. http://www.malvaceae.info/Genera/Hibiscus/sections.php -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

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