ooooohhhhh I didn’t cheat….I have the gift of spotting a plant outside the vegie patch:)

Pom said it wasn’t an hibiscus. The flowers are only 20 cent size.

GE thinks it’s Sida fallax. I did a google image search and it looks close. There just seems to be an awful lot of variation in leaf shapes.

i see them up here i think…

Bump

Thanks again Bubba. Sida fallax looks like it’s the go. The paragraph below helps to explain the differences in each of 4 varieties.

Please pass on my thanks to the diligent folks over at Garden Express. S. fallax is a groovy name isn’t it?

‘Ilima – Sida fallax
Small shrub almost continuously in bloom with 2” orange flowers. Used to create highly prized leis. We grow four varieties. An upright variety has bright green leaves and a rich orange flower. A low-growing form has somewhat felted grayish-green leaves and a paler orange flower. The Black Coral variety is also upright but several inches of its growing tips are black. The flowers are a little lighter orange and a more open growing habit. Finally we have a double flowered variety that we grew from seed.
