I bought a blooming plant today at Trader Joe's and it had no description
with it. The people at TJ's didn't know what it was, and I googled for it without success.
Does anyone know what this plant is called? It's rather pretty...

[+3] - CalamityJane - 08/21/2008Thank you, littlek, but it's definitely no hibiscus. I have a hibiscus in my yard, and the leaves and the bloom are quite different. The flowers of this plant look almost poppylike...

@CalamityJane,

It's a hibiscus or a mallow. I can't quite tell.

Aha!

@CalamityJane,

Look at the link I posted. It's a mallow, not an hibiscus.

@CalamityJane,

It's marijuana disguised as some type of flowering plant.

@JTT,

Then I should bring it into the house quickly. Laughing

They're (police) always circling around with helicopters to look for
Marijuana plants. Not far from my house, in the canyons, they found
a rather large marijuana field, all high tech, with solar powered sprinklers.

@littlek,

They certainly are pretty and the bloom is much smaller.
My other hibiscus has huge blooms.

@CalamityJane,

The mallows like it damp. Keep it watered and enjoy! By the way, they'd probably be quite happy in your garden given enough water.

I read about the H. m... whatever, for years, but never seen one. Nice!

CJane, are you a new yorker reader by any chance? fascinating article in one of the recent ones re changes in california marijuana culture. It's online, but at something like 15 pages, quite a long hall to read on a computer monitor. Title is Dr. Kush, and I right now forget the author's name.

@ossobuco,

osso, I have about 5 New Yorkers laying around here, but haven't gotten around to reading any yet. I'll look for the marijuana connection Wink

Thanks!

@littlek,

Yep, they'll do even better if you co-plant them under the canopy of sinsemilla.
