Nadi #8

No that isn't here prison cell number but the first to bloom of the ones I got from her. Looks like a mallow of some sort to me. I'll have to locate where I have it listed to see what it supposed to be.
I do think it is pretty however.

That looks like the bloom I have had on the first 3 of 5 plants from her coop. Someone else said it was a swamp mallow and they grew all around her area in Louisiana.

I think I got 17 swamp mallows. They all look the same but this one is the only one that has bloomed. It did take me three years to get a swamp mallow to bloom from seed. I have about 5 scattered in the yard and the bloom looks the same.

none of the ones i got from her are over 12' tall and most never made leaves
Got this as unnamed red at Home depot ? wish i saved my money on coop and bought more this is huge

Tazzy, that is a very pretty one! I'm with you, wish I too had just spent my money on what I could buy around here. Now I have these "swamp mallows" planted and guess I will have to pull them up or at least all but one. I have a moye grande that I bought at Fredricksburg's Wildseed Farms last year and paid what I thought at the time was a whopping price. Well, I could have bought 3 for what I spent on Swamp Mallows. Now I just laugh at myself. Guess that's what I get for thinking we could get such a great deal as Nadi advertised. Jenny

tazzy that is so pretty. Just went out to see if any of the others might be blooming but no luck.
Have ya'll seen the forum where a lot of hibiscus lovers are having a grow and swap?
