While moving plants to a new garden I came across this white flower. It is blooming on a woody stem and has a hibiscus type foliae. Can anyone tell me what I have? It is in bloom now, mid-August.
A new find
Reminds me of Lavatera or some kind of Malvaceae maybe?

Thank you for your help. Hibiscus is exactly what this flower is however the flower stayed opened most of the afternoon. Go figure.
Your welcome :) BTW, it's a beauty!
more the Venice mallow according to the plant files.

I was browsing through Picasa Web Albums and happened upon a picture of a plant named Hyoscyamus niger. Search google images and see if it looks like your plant. I thought it did.
Oops I didn't realize someone already figured out what it was! It does look just like Venus Mallow!
