I received this picture...asking for an ID. Was told that this came up in pot that last year had been an Hibiscus.
I thought it looked similar to a Hibiscus mutabilis. Confederate Rose.
I don't grow Hibiscus, so I'm not sure...So, I'm looking for opinions...
Thanks!

It looks like a hibiscus to me...

I thought it looked like Hibiscus too. I'm waiting to get a little more info, and maybe find out why she doesn't think it is.

Thanks porkpal.

I'll leave this open for a little bit longer...See if there are any other opinions out there....

It does look like a Hibiscus of some sort. The leaves remind me a bit of Scarlet Rose Mallow

Looks similar to a rose of sharon seedling...

As stone suggested, check out Roses of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)

Once it blooms you will surely be able to get a more exact ID but it does appear to be a Hibiscus of some sort.

Thanks all! I felt for sure it was Hibiscus also.
She said that she bought this last year, and it bloomed beautifully with red flowers, all year long. It came back for her this year with nothing but the leaves...No sign of budding or blooming at all. I'll have to ask her if she's been feeding it.
again!

Ask her if she remembers the red blooms looking like this Scarlet Rose Mallow, also called Texas Star Hibiscus:
