anyone recognize these flowers ? the leaves all wilted off after it was transplanted and the terminal spike has browned off . its a survivor tho ... next year should be even better . its about 4ft tall with a 3/4in semi woody green stem most of the way up narrowing to about a 1/4in ...

Maybe a variety of Hollyhock (Alcea rosea)

yep ... that would be the species ... tyvm I will work on narrowing down the specific cultivar ...
