I have the same feeling, Weezie, I don't know for sure [dunno]
but based on the flower structure, I'd say it's in the Mallow/Hibiscus family.

i bet it is a mallow rather than a "hibiscus". just because the structure wasn't right for hibiscus.

i will probably get to stop by there tomorrow, crossing my fingers. thanks for the help!

It looks like the sign says "spearleaf" in the lower left corner. BUT when I put it into a search engine, nothing came up.

There IS a spearleaf swamp mallow that is invasive down south, but all I found was a map with no plant pics

WOW!! Well done, Myndful!! [clappy] You've got some eagle eyes! [thumb]

Yes, it sure does look like a match for Pavonia hastata ("Spearleaf Swamp Mallow").

Sybil, that Venice mallow flower looks very close, too,
but does the foliage seem just a bit different? [dunno]
