Hola
Seems it is Hibiscus... H. acetosella ? (familia Malvaceae)...I see her bearing very small ...foliage should be more red.
Saludos

| GAGirl, your plant matches foliage for H acetosella very closely. I could not find a picture or description of one with that color bloom however. Do you remember where or from whom you got the plant? It is a really neat looking plant. |

| Kenaf is a possibility, but I thought it was an annual and had much heavier canes...

| The color of the flower is the big question...
I think we will have to wait until GAGirl returns to answer some questions, si? |

| Yes, it's better to wait...
Also put my hibiscus unknown in a separate message for their identification.
Thanks themoonhowl for sharing

| I am here, been outside most of the day. Alright lets see...not sure it is Hib. acetosella because the leaves are not that red.
The cannabinus is too green of a leaf.
Can't remember where I got it from.
It is definatlely different from any I have seen.
Thanks for everyones suggestions and help. Maybe we can narrow it down. |
