Flowering Maple or...

Abutilon is a large genus of approximately 150 species of broadleaf evergreens in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus includes annuals, perennials, shrubs, and small trees from 1?10 m tall, and is found in the tropical and subtropical regions of all continents. The leaves are alternate, unlobed or palmately lobed with 3-7 lobes. The flowers are conspicuous, with five petals, mostly red, pink, orange, yellow or white.

Common names include Abutilon, Chinese Bell Flower, Chinese Lantern, Mallow, Indian Mallow, and Flowering Maple (for the maple-like leaves of some species, although the genus is not related to the true maples). The generic name is derived from the Arabic word aubutilun.[3]

Bill and I went to the Home and Garden show at the fairgrounds. They call it the Idea Fair, however. Anyway, snooped around and purchased a few things. We did not purchase this as this is for display only. It does attract a lot of attention. The shrub is quite large and it is very interesting and unique looking.
