Any amateur or professional botanists reading? Any guesses what type of plant/flower this is?
I have lived in my house since October 2007 and so am still discovering the array of flowers, bushes, perennials, and trees that previous tenants or landlords took care to plant. I enjoyed abundant daffodils in springtime, which was comforting during Seattle's long winter. One particular plant, near the car parking strip, looked for a long time like a giant weed, rather like stink weed. Early this July, the plant sprouted gorgeous yellow-pinkish flowers that to me resemble the tropical hibiscus flower. Though I don't know what type of plant it is, I appreciate arriving home to the beautiful blooms each day.

this looks like a hollyhock to me. very pretty! i love the pale peach color. you're lucky you get a garden. you should have planted tomatoes and potatoes and corn.
