All the pictures I find have leaves that look totally different. The flowers are deep pink,maroon color.the stems and seed pods are covered with tiny thorny hairs. It grows very tall,and reseeds yearly.

themoonhowl Prairieville, LA (Zone 9a) November 10, 2009 08:49 AM	There was a similar post a few days ago. The two suggestions were H cannabinus, as Ecrane suggested or Hibiscus Radiatus http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/59791/
