    And we'd probably prefer to see a picture to be more sure of trying to throw wild flurries of names out.

    I believe it's an abelmochus, I don't know which species though and I don't place absolute certainty on my id, but I did grow some hybrids/selections from Park Seeds some years ago that looked very like this in all ways.

    As I recall those were Abelmoschus moschatus
