They look quite similar & have probably been domesticated, hybridised &
spread around by horticulturalists. I picked the swamp variety because Jack
found it on the edge of a dam. There are so many varieties to be found
worldwide:

Alan and Dan -
what Jack photo'ed is growing wild out west.. desert rose-mallow is a
common name in those parts for one (or some?) species of Hibiscusthat is
commonly found
in the southwest US-- however whenI looked it up by that name the photo
I saw didn't have such fat leaves... so now I'm stumped.

This blossom was shot near the edge of the pond where my recent post,
"Hunting Egret" was shot.
Am mildly curious if anyone knows it's common name. Thanks!
