This is coming out because it's blocking some blueberries and okra, but if anyone recognizes it...

Oh yes I did identify a lone hibiscus flower growing in that area when we moved in about a year ago. I will let it bloom and set seed, and I will collect the seeds and find a more suitable spot to plant them next year.

I will probably also harvest and dry the flowers for tea, in which I have a little experience; and I may also look into harvesting fiber from the stems, in which I have no experience.

Peace and Blessings,
-Shalom
