Question
Hi I live in Rhode Island and found this plant in my yard, trying to find out what it is. Thank you
Answer
Dear Jonzin99, you have photographed Arbutilon theophrasti (velvetleaf), a non-native member of the mallow family. This plant almost always is associated with cultivated soils and does not naturalize well to pristine settings. Best wishes.
