It is in my front yard. It was there when I bought, and moved into, my house

I have no clue what it is?

It bloom in the early fall.

Nope, Hand held.

And, I found out that it is a "Hibuscus Mutabilis"

I'm 62, that's not young. The steady part wasmore luck than anything else.

i think SR may have helped also.

a little levels/curves and USM adj. would really help these.

You can bet that it did.

Well, I may play with the second one some. I actually just did these as snapshots to try and determine what kind of tree this is.

I did find out. It's a "Hibuscus Mutabilis"

Thanks,

Ed

All I can say is that it's a pretty tree - good thing I didn't hazard a guess as to it's type because I would have been way off.

And you are one steady shooter! Well done.

Nice shots of a beautiful tree, Eddy. I thought it might be some sort of hibiscus but thought it was odd that it was blooming this late. Oh well, enjoy it while ya got it!

Thanks for sharing!

I was interested enough to look this up, as it is not a typical mallow. It was introduced from China and has gone wild in Florida and Texas. A common name is "Cotton Rose" (It is neither a cotton nor a rose, but that is why we have scientific names). It looks like a nice plant to have.
