Native wild hibiscus. Hibiscus Trionum.
Thanks to Goat Mountain for ID. (A wild hibiscus)
Hibiscus Trionum.
Also known by "Flower of the Hour"
Goat Mountain gave me a link to his photo (much better than mine!) and his ID and description. www.flickr.com/photos/goat_mountain/36486001862
Which I'm adding here:
"The blossoms open around 10 a.m. and close about an hour later, depending on sunshine and temperature. And that's why they are sometimes called "Flower-of-the-Hour".
The seed head is remarkable - even more than the blossom! The one that is on the Left, will open in a few days and scatter seeds for another generation.
Grows to 30"x30"
