    Hello! I thought this plant was a hibiscus but it turns out I am wrong. Are you able to identify it from this picture? Thank you

    Answer

    Dear dcher002, good morning. I'm sorry I can't help you much with this one. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. I don't know where this particular plant is from and I don't know if it is wild (native or naturalized). From what I can see, it does look to be part of the Malvaceae (mallow family), which Hibiscus belongs, but without additional images (and larger ones), I can't help further. Best wishes.
