Think you and Chris are right, Daryl. It's likely not a vine, but a spindly plant--at least this one is. And if it's a native, Chris, petal width is going to be a crap shoot.

Love that link, Daryl. Gonna send it to ex2.

Jim,

It's a dead ringer for my Texas Star Hibiscus. I'm betting that it's not on
a vine, and that it's Hibiscus coccineus. Take
a look at the leaf at 11 o'clock, more or less.

Oh, and you might find this bit amusing.

This flower is on a vine. It looks something like a hibiscus and is
about the same size as a hibiscus. Anybody recognize it?
