Does this leaf look familiar? What is this plant?

[Mmathis]

It's growing in my turtle bog, so it's something I planted there in the fall, but I'm not finding a label for it anywhere.

Cardinal flower, maybe? There are 2 or 3 of them, and that sounds about right for the # of cardinal's I had. For a size reference, that's a section of 1-1/2" PVC pipe underneath.

Doesn't look like Lobelia!

So, could my "mystery leaf" be a water hibiscus? The leaves don't look exactly the same, but.....

Don't think so. I have seen this red-veined leaf before but can't remember the plant.

Is it possible that a tree seed fell in and began growing?

Doubt it because it appears to be growing from a stem than I remember planting in the fall.

@addy1 Thanks! I've apparently registered there before, but forgot my password -- go figure. Awaiting the email re-set.

Could it be some kind of Flowering Maple (Abutilon)

No idea but it is nice looking. Meyer that plant is very nice

I think it is going to be a hibiscus coccineous, or "marsh hibiscus," "swamp mallow," and there were several other names. I want to say I've seen it sold as a "water hibiscus." And that's something I have purchased in the past.

Every description I've seen/read so far describes the leaves as being lobed, somewhat jagged, and looking similar to a maple leaf or a Marijuana leaf. At least, I don't think it's MJ......

Thanks for everyone's help! I'll try to remember to post an update once the plant grows a little more.
