Look what just showed up! It's growing on a vine. Is this a hybiscus flower? It looks like some of the photos I found online.

The reason I'm guessing hybiscus is that twenty years ago there were hybiscus vines there, growing against the chimney. We thought they had died, and we've always had cat's claw growing there. I don't remember the flowers being yellow, but that was a long time ago.

In January, as part of our remodeling, we dug out a lot of cat's claw and made garden areas to the right and left of the chimney. We didn't dig out the cat's claw in front of the chimney -- we did cut it down to the dirt -- and there's a big pile of dirt in the front-of-chimney garden area waiting for me to screen. The cat's claw is growing back, and maybe something activated the hybiscus? Maybe the big pile of dirt keeping the ground moist?

If it's hybiscus, I'm wondering how to separate it from the cat's claw.
