Question
Thank you for your help on the crabapple. I also came across another plant in a meadow with goldenrod and milkweed in Cuyahoga Valley, Ohio. I could not identify it. I attached several pictures. Hope you can help. Thanks again.
Answer
Dear rayrites, your plant appears to be Hibiscus moscheutos (swamp rose-mallow), a native member of the mallow family. It is usually associated with wetland edges and low fields (and similar habitats with wet or seasonally saturated soils). Best wishes.
