This plant is so unusual and so mysterious I don't want to believe it can be invasive and a noxious weed. About three years ago I found it hiding under the leaves of a sage plant in my herb garden. The tender little flower bud is pale green and nearly translucent, it reminds me of a pickled onion. When I was finally able to catch this Hibiscus in bloom, I was delighted with the beautiful little flower. One of the common names for Hibiscus trionum is "Flower Of An Hour". The beautiful flower with cream colored petals and dark center only lasts a few hours. Other common names for this self-seeding annual are Bladder Hibiscus, Venus Mallow, and Rose Mallow.
