I think it is Flowering Maple (Abutilon). That looks like quite a garden tour you went on.

i don't think so. this plant was very different than the other. the flowers' habit was different, more open and upright than the turks cap (which i do think is correct for #17!)

I stand by Malvaviscus arboreus for this one,
[Smile] and I still say that #17 is Malvaviscus penduliflorus

M. arboreus is an upright form,
and M. penduliflorus (as the name sort of implies)
has the pendulous flowers.
