I'll take guess, Hollyhock?

Hibiscus. Looks the the variety that is hardy in colder climates like New England.

Not an Angel Trumpet?

what a great name,,,I'll have to remember that name when I look for seeds next time. clues go on.... it is a huge vegetable plant not necessarily a plant with a huge vegetable

Looks like a vine in the background, I'll say cucumber, but I think the flowers are yellow.

Well I thought for sure it was a Hibiscus.....so I was wrong right off the bat.... A gardner I'm not......

At a guess is it a pumpkin or marrow family of plants?

these are all good guesses: I do not know what a marrow plant might be.....pumpkin it is not. If you get back from a check I'll remind you it is a large plant with a small vegetable. The real clue is in the picture already. It shows the vegetable in part.

Well, the second pic seems to show a cucumber. Since that is not correct, I'll go with zuccini...though some might consider that a large vegetable.

Squash.

I think cukes and squash might be related.... I let this go as long as it doesn't get to stale.. More clues....this plant gets seven to eight feet tall and has a stalk like three inches in diameter.... NO....the clues are not a joke!!!!

I believe, with that last clue, that I have no clue.

Gumbo?

WE HAVE A BINGO!!!!!!!!! StarShuffler done did it!!! There was a pod next to the flower all the time. I call it OKRA, like that is the seed you have to buy to grow it. The Flowers are real pretty and the plants get huge if they get sun and water. If you can't wait for your tomatos to get red and have lots of green tomatos you can chop up some okra with the tomatos and bread the mess in corn meal or corn muffin mix and fry it. A nice side dish. It goes in GUMBO soup as most know.

Dude, I eat Okra all the time. Never heard it called gumbo. Also, I used to pick it from our garden...never saw a plant THAT tall!

Chuck --- you can see a pod behind the blossom. This okra plant was unreal it was indeed seven feet tall. It had a dozen pods or more on the top when it peaked out. Maybe they did not get enough sun. THis one got lots of sun and Miracle Gro and water every week. I had some in the shade that were from two to four feet tall.

Yeah, 2-3 feet, that's my memory. But I know what you mean. A friend of mine was REALLY into growing tomato plants. Dug irrigation, special fertilizer, etc. for them. He showed me one of his good years and the darn things were about 9 feet tall !!!

We call it okra here, too. I just like the sound of gumbo. Hehehe :-) Do I get a prize? ;-) (*

you won StarShuffler....you knew...that is a good prize, I ran through a bunch of thumbs in your photo lab SS and you seem to know what is a good photo subject... Chuck...he must have really proped up those plants. I saw some I grew with 1 1/2" main stems. Tomatos are something. I have not planted any for three years and get 100# or so off a four by four area, but I do water and fertilize, the tomatos volunteer as long and you throw the ones you do not eat in the patch. You would think the ground would burn out. We only ate 50# so, I felt guilty wasting them even though they were free other than $2.00 of Miracle Grow.
