Plant ID please

[grub]

Mr List was asking for an I.D. of this plant being delicately sat upon by a Butterfly, I've no idea what it is as it was bought solely on it's foliage and no other attention was paid to it . I can say though it is very hardy http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... to_comment

No idea, It has the look of a maple, but the growing style of Cannabis.. I'm at a loss.. is it evergreen or deciduous?

maybe a hybrid.... acer x cannabis "grubs glory"

[grub]

Perhaps I'll have a go at drying at smoking some

[call]

i wont be doing that if i where you it looks like it could be poisionous

[stephenprudence]

pass it around

I'm at a loss, but some type of relation to Maple might be a start, but certainly not native, with the size of those leaves.

edit: actually isn't it something like the name 'panax' in it.. it's in the family Araliaceae Im sure...

Olopanax? maybe not that, but probably on that line.

Its an Hibiscus, itll come to me later but for now the name escapes me, I have some in the garden here.

[grub]

Might be a call Stephen, some kind of Oreopanax perhaps...

[stephenprudence]

Adrian the leaves look fairly similar to Hibicus mutabilis, and Hibiscus sinosyriacus

If they are Hibiscus, I would never have thought so.. interesting.

[GREVILLE]

It looks like a green type of Hibiscus acetosella (if such a thing exists )

[grub]

Hibiscus eh... -19C though, isn't that a bit too far for Hibiscus? (If it ever flowers I'll post )

[Conifers]

Also compare Hibiscus cannabinus.
