this plant was so enjoyed by the butterflies.

it's petals reminded me of another plant, but i can't think of which one it was. none of the blooms were facing up, so i couldn't see what they looked like inside, and i couldn't get a good pic of them. if i get back down there while there are still blooms, i'll try again.

Flowering Maple... Abutilon hybridum

I'd say Malvaviscus penduliflorus, a pendulous form of "Turk's Cap Hibiscus".

Okay, that's the same one.. as the Mystery post #19......

no, not the same as mystery 19, but i do think zuzu is right in that it is a turks cap!

maybe it's a sleeping hibiscus (i saw the name while I was searching through the seed site)

No, not the same, please note in my post that I gave a different ID for this one And I still think the other one (#19) is Malvaviscus arboreus,
while this one is Malvaviscus penduliflorus.

let me look... at that one! and sorry about the name thing...

I just love getting to see all these wonderful pictures you took
I'm having a vicarious tour of an outstanding garden.
Thank you so much.

Zuzu,
I am getting a vicarious thrill you, Zuzu, that
you do such a great job here in the Mystery Section..
Gosh you're very good at identifying them..

*are you a secret master gardener or what?*

thank YOU for identifying them. and you are right about this one too! very good eye. if i hadn't been there, i'd have had a hard time telling the difference!!

My pleasure, Jiffy.

Nah, just an old bird who's clearly spent far too many $$$ on plants,
and WAAYYY too much time playin' in the dirt.

Well, you sure do know your flowers!!!!!
