Texas Star
Swamp Hybiscus, also called a Texas Star, a very tall growing plant, like it's relative Hollyhocks, but likes wet feet so not very many blooming this year, just has been too dry. Flower is big too, maybe 8 inches across. Shirley

Good shot of an impressive flower Shirley. The red has come out well too which isn't always the case.

If it likes wet feet send it over here Shirley, we have the wettest drought ever known, past 3 months have broken rainfall records.
