Flowering maple (Abutilon x hybridum)
Family: Malvaceae
Flowering maples are versatile plants that can be grown as indoor potted plants or outdoors in a wide range of climates. In temperate regions they are treated as annuals, but in the subtropics and tropics they become large evergreen shrubs. Abutilon x hybridum is a group of horticultural hybrids that have maple-like leaves and a wide range of flower colors. They are also called Chinese lanterns, referring to the colorful, downward-pointing flowers.
