Texas Star Hibiscus

A few days ago I read about the man who got busted for growing marijuana who claimed that he thought is was Texas Star Hibiscus.
I thought at the time that since I had posted a picture of our Texas star last year I might get a traffic blip and sure enough today I did.

Of course the crux of the matter is if the leaves look similar enough to pot that someone could not distinguish it from pot. At a quick look I would say that it could be possible but I will let you be the judge for yourself.





It is a great plant by the way.
